Rose petal, camphor, eucalyptus and dark-skinned-berry aromas shape the nose on this captivating wine. Vibrant and intense, the palate evokes spiced cranberry, red cherry, licorice, espresso and a hint of orange zest alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. It's still youthfully austere but already balanced, with firm acidity.

About this wine
Gaja is a renowned Italian wine producer, known for their exceptional Barbaresco wines. The Sori San Lorenzo vineyard is one of their most prized plots, producing some of the finest Barbaresco wines in the region. The history of Gaja dates back to the 1850s, when Giovanni Gaja founded the winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. Over the years, the family has continued to innovate and push the boundaries of winemaking, becoming one of the most respected names in the industry.
The Sori San Lorenzo vineyard is located in the heart of the Barbaresco DOCG, and is known for its unique microclimate and soil composition. The vines here are planted on steep hillsides, with a south-facing exposure that allows for optimal ripening of the grapes.
The style of production at Gaja is focused on minimal intervention, allowing the natural character of the grapes to shine through in the finished wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted, before undergoing a long maceration period to extract maximum flavour and tannins.
The resulting Barbaresco wines from Sori San Lorenzo are rich and complex, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, these wines are full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Overall, Gaja's Sori San Lorenzo Barbaresco is a true masterpiece of Italian winemaking, and a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast. With its unique terroir and careful production methods, this wine is sure to delight and impress.
