1989 #Gaja Barolo "Sperss," che bello! - as pleasurable as a velvety pillow 🛏, its soft tannins caressing every care from your tired bones. Gorgeous plummy, blackcurranty fruit mingles with notes of licorice and earth, and the finish keeps stroking the palate in all the right ways. "Sperss" is a Piedmontese dialectal term that translates to "nostalgia," but for us it might as well mean "get me a plate of buttery tajarin with white truffles" . Speaking of #truffles 🥔, the holy season is starting in the holy land of Piedmont 🏞 - somebody get Alitalia ✈️ on the line!
