General Information…
Best seller and one of Malgrà’s most exciting developments, Gaiana is different thanks the power of the grape flavour and the special richness in mineral salts. These characters are magically blended by the barrique refining for 12 months. The result is an Italian style, full bodied, warm barbera coming from the richness of the cru and the ageing harmony.
