Barbaresco Sorì Tildin – Gaja – 2033

The Barbaresco Sorì Tildin 2022 wine of the Gaja winery

The Barbaresco Sorì Tildin 2013 is another masterpiece of the Gaja winery. It is a pure Nebbiolo whose grapes are grown in the “Sorì Tildin” vineyard from which it takes its name. In the Piedmontese dialect, “Sorì” indicates the top of a hill facing south, while “Tildin” was the nickname given to Clotilde Rey, grandmother of Angelo Gaja. It is an elegant and unique wine that can remain in the cellar for a very long time, certainly over 20 years. Tasting this nectar will be a unique experience for those who love red wine. Undoubtedly one of the most critical and well-known wines in Italian oenology.

THE WINEMAKING

The grapes are carefully selected during the strictly manual harvest, and only the best are used to produce this label. The peculiarity of this wine is the double refinement. In fact, after fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months in French oak barriques and a further 12 months in large barrels of precious wood. Once bottled, it rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine by Gaja

Ruby red tending to garnet. The aroma is a continuous discovery. You can perceive red fruit, such as blackberries and raspberries, and spices that alternate with balsamic, leather, vanilla and dark chocolate hints. This wine is intense on the palate, with a perfect body, perfectly balanced, charming freshness that invites you to drink and a long and very, very persistent finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect with red meats, game and hard cheeses. Due to its excellent quality, we suggest it as a meditation wine to sip in front of the fireplace. You must try it with mushroom risotto.

Wine is purchased directly from the producer and stored in cold rooms.
