Gaja Barbaresco Sorì Tildin 2020

Dark and brooding, Sorì Tildin in 2020 is a more somber expression of this celebrated single vineyard. Black cherry, leather, dried tobacco, tar and incense form a dense, layered core, framed by firm tannins that are built for the long haul. There is serious depth here, but the wine is wound tight and needs time, this isn't a Barbaresco for early drinking. Cellar through 2032–2042.

Gaja

Gaja is Barbaresco's most recognizable name globally, built on single-vineyard Nebbiolo from Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, and Costa Russi, alongside a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc that remain outliers in the region.
