GAJA
Sorì Tildìn Barbaresco DOP
In the local dialect, Sorì refers to the hillside facing south, while Tildin was the diminutive of Clotilde (Angelo Gaja’s grandmother).
The Sorì Tildìn single vineyard is situated on top of a hill in Barbaresco, just above Costa Russi. The south/ southwestern exposure and its amphitheater shape ensure maximum sunshine.

In Sorì Tildìn elegance and complexity find their greatest balance. The refined and unique character of Nebbiolo perfectly match with the pedoclimatic conditions, thus expressing a nose full of complex and mineral notes. It is a multidimensional wine, rich in the mouth with a dense structure. High ageing potential.

"Returning to a more traditional expression of site, the 2023 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo shows the classic character of this vineyard. Medium-bodied, it offers notes of juniper, currants, cranberries, and brambly earth. The tannins have deeper structure and density compared to the other crus, giving the wine impressive backbone and longevity while retaining balance and freshness. Drink 2027-2057."

"A restrained wine with fresh lemon-tree aromas, showing licorice root, subtle graphite and smoky wood, alongside wild strawberries and dried cherries. Full-bodied, juicy and elegant on the attack, with thick tannins on the midpalate. Muscular finish. Drink or hold."
— Aldo Fiordelli, 2026
