GAJA Sori Tildin, Barbaresco DOCG

The Gaja family has redefined the Langhe landscape, and Sorì Tildìn remains a testament to that legacy. This single-vineyard Barbaresco takes its name from the Piedmontese word for a sun-drenched hilltop and Tildìn, the nickname of Angelo Gaja’s grandmother. Situated in the commune of Barbaresco, the site benefits from a south-facing aspect and silty-clay soils, producing fruit with immense structural integrity.

Winemaking reflects a balance between tradition and precision. Following fermentation in stainless steel, the wine undergoes maturation in oak barrels for twelve months before an additional period in large traditional casks. This process ensures the Nebbiolo tannins are refined while maintaining the site’s distinct mineral backbone.

Each vintage offers a consistent profile of dark cherry, crushed violets, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, expect a dense core of red fruit supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. It is a benchmark of Italian viticulture, combining power with composure.
