Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Last to be tasted and the most powerful in this series of single-vineyard wines is the Gaja 2021 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo. This vintage delivers striking intensity that is focused and pure. Dark berry fruit is surrounded by spice, earth and licorice. The tannins are quite present in the San Lorenzo, especially in this vintage, and ideally this bottle should see many more years of bottle evolution. With so many decades of family history behind this site, San Lorenzo's excellence is an enduring symbol of the creativity and expertise of the Gaja legacy.

Description
The Barbaresco Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo is one of the greatest jewels of the Piedmontese Nebbiolo. This wine comes from the prestigious San Lorenzo vineyard, located in the heart of the Langhe. It is known for its warmth, robustness, perfect balance and remarkable longevity. Its olfactory palette is rich and elegant, making it a true masterpiece of Italian wine.
Winemaking
This Barbaresco is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, carefully selected by the Gaja team during the manual harvest. After vinification, the wine undergoes a double ageing process: first, it spends 12 months in oak barrels and then another year in large oak casks. After these 24 months of maturation, the wine is ready to be bottled and marketed.
Taste
Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo de Gaja has a bright colour reminiscent of garnet. On the nose, it offers an impressive olfactory spectrum ranging from terroir and undergrowth to fresh cherry, blackberries, rose and bitter orange, culminating in notes of spices and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, with a crispness characteristic of Nebbiolo tannin and a balanced acidity that enriches its flavour and persistence. It is a wine that introduces us into the pantheon of the great Italian reds, reaffirming the Gaja winery as one of the myths of Italian oenology.
