Description

"Angelo Gaja is, without question, the most famous wine producer in Italy. Possibly one of the most famous in the world. He is credited with developing techniques that revolutionised winemaking in Italy.
- International Wine Challenge

The 2022 Sito Moresco brings together two of Piedmont’s most expressive grapes - Nebbiolo and Barbera - in a way that’s both classic and quietly contemporary. While the blend has evolved over time, it now stands at 60% Nebbiolo and 40% Barbera, with fruit drawn from prime vineyard sites in Treiso and Serralunga.

This latest vintage also benefits from a recent shift in Gaja’s broader winemaking strategy. With the return of their famed single-vineyard Barbarescos to 100% Nebbiolo, some top-shelf Barbera has been redirected into this wine - raising the bar for Sito Moresco without changing its approachable spirit.

Fermented in a mix of oak and tank, then aged as a blend in oak for a year, this is a polished but quietly energetic expression of Langhe. It offers plenty of immediate drinking pleasure, with the kind of finesse and depth that hints at Gaja’s pedigree, even in their more everyday offerings.

Importer's Notes:

This wine has evolved its blend to include only Nebbiolo and Barbera, a change that followed Gaja’s decision to revert their iconic single-vineyard Barbarescos—Sori San Lorenzo, Sori Tildin, and Costa Russi—back to 100% Nebbiolo. As a result, some exceptional old-vine Barbera, which was previously blended into these wines, has now been incorporated into the Sito Moresco bottling.

Most of the fruit is sourced from Pajoré in Treiso and vineyards in Serralunga, with the final blend comprising 60% Nebbiolo and 40% Barbera.

The Nebbiolo and Barbera components are fermented separately, plot by plot, using a mix of stainless steel tanks and oak. The wine is then blended and aged in oak for 12 months.

Gaja

The Gaja family has been producing wine in the hills of Barbaresco, Piedmont since 1859. But it was under the leadership of Angelo Gaja from the 1960s that the estate rose to global prominence, redefining what Italian fine wine could be. Today, his children - Gaia, Rossana, and Giovanni - are guiding the next chapter of the family legacy.

Gaja’s wines are a benchmark of modern Italian winemaking - bold, polished, and built for the long haul. Single-vineyard bottlings like Sorì Tildìn and Costa Russi broke new ground for Barbaresco, while plantings of Cabernet and Chardonnay challenged tradition and put Langhe on the world stage.

Beyond Barbaresco, the family now crafts celebrated wines from Bolgheri and Montalcino, and most recently, from the volcanic slopes of Etna under the IDDA label - a joint project with Alberto Graci that’s turning heads for its purity and poise. Wherever they go, Gaja remains a symbol of innovation, ambition, and Italian excellence.
