The Gaja 2017 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn opens to a luminous ruby appearance with pretty crimson highlights. This vintage appears lighter in color and concentration compared to past editions. The bouquet delivers a purity and sharpness nonetheless, but it offers less overall fruit. It shows subtle berry tones with blue flower, aniseed and candied orange peel. This very young Sorì Tildìn takes time to open, and it remains on the nervous side even after it has been given ample time in the glass. The best course of action is to wait until the 10-year mark before opening this bottle. It needs that extra time to soften and flesh out.

Here's a wonderfully spicy and opulent rendition of Nebbiolo and another very full and rich Barbaresco from Gaja. The 2016 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is open, more concentrated and structured. There are pretty floral notes of rose hip or wild rose in this generous wine of broad scope. We're talking about smaller fruit here, with plums, cassis, blackberry and plenty of power. Everything came to perfect maturity in this 2016 vintage, representing that rare merge of quantity and quality. This is what you get from the dense soils of the warm, south-facing Sorì Tildìn site and similar ones where the terrain can keep the moisture locked in. The 2016 growing season was also marked by sharp diurnal shifts, and rainfall was well-timed to occur when it was needed most.

This is a wine of profound elegance and grace. The 2014 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is fine and deeply finessed, with long and polished berry notes that are enhanced by mild spice and smoky mineral notes. The wine starts off slowly and subtly. You can follow its evident progression as it opens and evolves quickly in the glass. In fact, of Gaja's three single-vineyard expressions, this wine is the most fluid and changing. The tannins are fine and nicely integrated to give the wine power, grace and staying power.

Gaja is a renowned Italian wine producer, known for their exceptional Barbaresco wines. The Sori Tildin is one of their most sought-after wines, made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Sori Tildin vineyard in the Barbaresco region.

The history of Gaja dates back to 1859, 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 producers in the world.

The Sori Tildin is a prime example of Gaja's commitment to quality and tradition. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected, then fermented in stainless steel tanks before being aged in oak barrels for 18-24 months. The result is a wine that is rich and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth.

Gaja's Barbaresco wines are known for their elegance and finesse, and the Sori Tildin is no exception. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for many years to come, developing even more complexity and depth over time.

Overall, Gaja's Sori Tildin is a wine that truly embodies the spirit of Barbaresco. It is a testament to the region's unique terroir and the skill of the winemakers who have dedicated their lives to producing exceptional wines. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of Italian wines, the Sori Tildin is a must-try. With its complex flavor profile and long aging potential, it is sure to be a favorite for years to come.

Chocolate, coffee, smoke, licorice, and tobacco characteristics are found in the complex, deep purple-colored 1998 Sori Tildin. Surprisingly seductive for such a young wine, it exhibits abundant aromatic fireworks, fabulous fruit concentration, a layered opulence, more intensity, glycerin, and depth than the Costa Russi, and a spectacularly long finish.
