Tasting Note

Intensity and balance are the features of the 2016 Sorì San Lorenzo. The classic San Lorenzo character shows through the pure and clean notes of white musk, roots, bark, graphite and gravel. An inviting marzipan note gives an original sweet twist to the nose. The palate shows remarkable fruit concentration, with notes of dark cherry, black currant, menthol, black pepper. Tannins, acidity and alcohol are perfectly integrated.

Product Notes

Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo is a premium wine produced by Gaja Winery, located in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is made from a blend of 95% Nebbiolo grapes and 5% Barbera grapes, which are grown in the Sorì San Lorenzo vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested and aged for 18 months in barriques, followed by 12 months in large casks. The wine has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of cherries, plum, licorice, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish. Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo is considered one of the greatest wines from the Piedmont region, and it is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes.
