{"product_id":"barbaresco-gaja-1996","title":"Barbaresco Gaja 1996","description":"Gaja Barbaresco 1996 is a mature-vintage Nebbiolo red wine from the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, northern Italy. Gaja Barbaresco is a true icon of Italian wine and this is the flagship bottling of the pre-eminent Barbaresco estate. Although the Gaja family has been making wine for five generations, the architect of its modern-day success was Angelo Gaja, who took over the family business in 1970. Winemaking is now overseen by Angelo`s daughter, Gaia. On the 1996 Barbaresco. \"Gaja`s 1996 Barbaresco is superb. Smoke, leather, tobacco, menthol and black cherries give the wine its distinctive dark, brooding personality. Bottle age has softened the burly tannins the 1996 had in its youth. With time in the glass, the 1996 starts to brighten a bit, but it remains tannic, austere and intense, which is to say very much in the style of the year. All things considered, the 1996 has aged impeccably. Powerful and also highly expressive, the Barbaresco is a terrific example of the year.\" Vinous, 2017","brand":"Gaja","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62413438026058,"sku":"HED7199","price":330.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED7199.jpg?v=1781896964","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/barbaresco-gaja-1996","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
