Classic, nuanced, and elegant, this single-vineyard expression in Gaja's cru Barbaresco trio-the second to be bottled individually in 1970-owns these terms, and often embodies them, carrying it across the palate with graceful deportment and refinement. Of the three Gaja single-vineyard Barbaresco wines, Sorì Tildin displays the roundest tasting profile, with a rich body, subtle texture, and fine, ripe tannins; in great vintages this wine will develop for decades. Sour cherries, violets, petrichor, toast and rich, spiced fruit comprise the usual profile for this gorgeously structured wine.
