Stepping into the domain of the 2001 Sperss from Gaja is akin to uncovering a hidden crypt brimming with rare treasures. This enigmatic wine hails from the elevated slopes of Serralunga d'Alba in Piedmont, a region cherished for its ability to transform the humble Nebbiolo grape into an intoxicating masterpiece. The 2001 vintage manifests itself as one of those desert-island years every fine wine investor dreams of. Favorable climatic conditions from early spring right through to a golden-hued autumn secured an exceptional vintage for Piedmont, allowing Nebbiolo ager to instantiate their robust character with depth and precision. As it rolls on the palate, one discerns layers of blackberries and plums, adorned with hints of leather and crushed roses - testament to this wine’s regal origin. The firm but not aggressive tannins encompass these flavors, laying siege to the palate in an embrace as lingering as it is harmonious.
