An introduction to Gaja, Barbaresco, Sori Tildin, Piedmont
Gaja's Sori Tildin, a Nebbiolo-dominant blend with a splash of Barbera, originates from a vineyard once owned by Angelo Gaja's grandmother, Clotilde Rey. 'Sori' signifies 'hilltop with southern exposure,' and 'Tildin' was a pet name for Clotilde, adding a personal touch to this iconic wine. A symphony of red and black fruits, floral notes, and subtle spices meet the nose. On the palate, the wine is incredibly balanced, with its rich fruit profile tempered by firm tannins and lively acidity. The finish is enduring and layered, indicative of its impressive aging potential.
