What can one say about Angelo Gaja that he himself has not already said! For this is the man who single-handedly brought Piedmontese wine-making into the modern era and forced it to realise its true potential. We have all learned a great deal from him and we have certainly drunk some extraordinary wines that he has made. He knew that Nebbiolo grown in the finest sites in the zones of Barolo and Barbaresco could shed its rustic character and become noble and he set about reducing yields and introducing small French oak barrels as a means to this end. His passion and commitment are reflected in the huge personality and concentration of the wines which have mind-blowing, myriad flavours and terrific volume and length on the palate. Stunning with white truffles!
