PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Gaja Grappa Sperss (375 ml) is an elegant and refined expression of Italian eaux-de-vie, born from Nebbiolo pomace grown in Gaja’s iconic Sperss vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, Piedmont.


🔶 Production & Terroir

  • Pomace source: 100% Nebbiolo, sourced immediately after fermentation from the Sperss vineyard—an amphitheater of clay-calcareous marl at about 1,210 ft a.s.l., with vines averaging 50 years in age.

  • Distillation: The pomace is slowly distilled in column stills. Only the “heart” fraction is collected, while the heads and tails are discarded to ensure purity.

  • Aging: Matured for approximately 30 months in oak barrels, giving it a subtle golden hue.

  • ABV: Bottled at 45%.


👁️ Appearance

Delicate golden color—an indication of its short barrel aging and considerable restraint 


👃 Aromas

  • Displays enticing notes of ripe orchard fruit (apricots, apples, pears), raisins, and hazelnuts 

  • Subtle raisin sweetness and nutty warmth provide a refined aromatic complexity .


👅 Palate & Texture

  • Body: Smooth, balanced, and silkily textured with a soft oak backbone 

  • Flavors: Reflect the nose—fruits, raisins, and nuts—harmoniously integrated into a rich, velvety profile 


🍂 Finish

  • Long, rounded finish that softly echoes its fruit–nut core, leaving a warm, resonant impression


🌟 Overall Impression

A beautifully balanced and elegant grappa, Sperss stands out for its restraint and finesse. Unlike fruitier or more aggressive grappas, this expression leans into a refined “digestivo” style—lightly influenced by oak, yet retaining the purity of Nebbiolo essence. Ideal for contemplative sipping, it’s an excellent digestif or luxurious after-dinner spirit.


✅ Summary

Gaja Grappa Sperss (375 ml, 45% ABV) celebrates terroir through Nebbiolo pomace—delivering harmonious aromas of ripe fruit, raisin, and hazelnut, with a smooth, well-rounded palate and a satisfying finish. Perfect for those who appreciate nuanced, wine-centric grappas made with artistry and care.
