Consistently one of the reference points for Italian wines, Angelo Gaja has fashioned some spectacular new releases. Gaja's 1989 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vignaveja is lighter than I would expect, it is attractively fruity, with a moderately intense, spicy aroma, and soft, medium to full-bodied, supple flavors. It should drink well for another 5-6 years. As evidenced by these wines, Gaja continues to demonstrate his winemaking genius. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.
