The Story

Sperss is a term affectionately used to denote nostalgia for precious things lost with time - a homage to the origins of the winery and the generations who built it. When the Gaja family decided to stop acquiring fruit from the other growers and bottle only estate-grown grapes, in 1961, it was a bold and difficult move. It would help to ensure a high standard of quality, but it also meant that for the first time in the winery's history, it wou...

Wine Information

The 2022 Gaja Sperss is a powerful testament to the resilience of Serralunga’s deep, limestone- and clay-rich soils during one of the hottest and driest growing seasons on record. With minimal winter precipitation and relentless summer heat waves, Gaja relied on careful canopy management and zero defoliation to shield the fruit from sunburn, while crucial late-August rains provided just enough hydration to avoid vine shutdown and preserve arom...

Written Notes

Blackberry, blood orange, cocoa, and sweet tar. Fleshy, warm-toned fruit upfront with robust, drying, young tannins on the back palate.

Reflecting the sunny, dry vintage conditions, the 2022 offers a broader, more lavishly textured expression without sacrificing its Serralunga spine. The bouquet presents macerated blackberries, dark chocolate, blood orange, warm cedar,and sweet tar, cut by dried sage and floral notes. On the palate, the attack is rich, round, and enveloping, showing notable mid-palate density before firm, muscular tannins take hold on the back half. A compelling intersection of vintage opulence and formidable, iron-tinged power.

It was fascinating to see how the limestone-clay soils of Serralunga handled the 2022 heat. This is definitely a richer,broader Sperss, packed with blackberries, cocoa, and sweet tar, but the terroir simply refuses to let it get flabby. Massive,mouth-coating tannins arrive right on cue to dry out the finish and give it authentic, iron-clad grip. Bold, deep, and deeply satisfying.
