Susan Hulme MW (Tasting in 2024): "There were many lovely wines, but the ones that really stole the show for me were the stunning 1958 Barbaresco, made by Angelo’s father Giovanni, and the three 2020 Barbaresco crus, overseen by the younger generation, Gaia and Giovanni. The 1958 had great transparency and purity, and there was a special energy and tenacity about this wine, while the latest release 2020 Barbaresco crus shared this transparency, purity, and focus but encased in the bright fruit of youth. There is a family resemblance between these wines, an ease and flow and harmony, as well as a scintillating acidity, that runs through them and connects them like an electric current. It crosses the family generations and all the changes that have taken place over the past 65 years. For me, the three Barbaresco crus from 2020 resemble the Barbaresco 1958 made by Giovanni Gaja, but with all the advantages and subtle changes that have taken place over the past 65 years. Despite the refinements of time, the Gaja identity remains strong."
