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.

"Subtle and complex aromas of blackberries, pine needles, bark, light spices and violets. It’s really perfumed and attractive. Full-bodied and chewy, but the tannins are very, very fine. It goes on for minutes. This a brooding, muscular wine but it is very refined."

"This Nebbiolo delivers a deeply savory experience with a subtle, ethereal aroma reminiscent of incense in a quiet church. Aromas of fresh raspberry, rose and crushed stone lift from the glass as the wine opens. The wine showcases firm, high-toned tannins and a concentrated cherry character—imagine split cherries soaking in their juices and warming slowly. Savory herbs complement the dense fruit, with the tannins providing a finely structured, mouthwatering finish."
