Wine Information

1985 – Another celebrated vintage, close to 1978 but more sun than 1978. In the beginning, the wine was closed and had aggressive tannins. But after 1984 and 1983, there was a large celebration for this vintage.

Vuosikerta 1985

Italy Vintage Report by Tb: 1985 more than made up for the weak year that preceded it. An extremely cold winter ensured the vines went into complete hibernation, until a warm, dry spring woke them up, well-rested, giving them the energy they would need for the varied summer weather. The dry autumn paved the way for the harvest of one of the best vintages of the decade, both in Piedmont and Tuscany. Although little cultivated, 1985 was an excep...

The 1985 Gaja Barbaresco is a mature and elegant wine that beautifully captures the essence of a classic vintage in Piedmont. The nose opens with delicate aromas of dried cherry, wild rose, leather, and subtle hints of tobacco and forest floor. Secondary notes of dried herbs, cedar, and a touch of sweet spice add complexity, revealing the wine’s evolution and aging potential.

On the palate, the wine shows a graceful balance between softened tannins and vibrant acidity, providing structure and freshness despite its age. Flavors of red fruit—dried cherry and cranberry—are accompanied by earthy nuances, hints of mushroom, and a faint touch of balsamic that adds depth. The texture is silky with medium body, and the wine carries a refined minerality that underscores its terroir.

The finish is moderately long and nuanced, lingering with gentle spice, floral notes, and a faint smokiness. While some tertiary characteristics are present, the 1985 retains a respectable vibrancy and elegance that make it a pleasure to drink now.

This vintage exemplifies the charm of aged Barbaresco, showcasing complexity without losing the hallmark finesse of Gaja’s craftsmanship. Best enjoyed soon, it remains a rewarding experience for lovers of mature Nebbiolo.

Barbaresco 1985 Completey developed, of course. Very complex nose, old wood, tobacco, rosehip. Elegant yet very present tannins of great quality and precision. Ending in a long finish with flavors of jasmine tealeaves and salty liquorice.
