Gaja Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo 1988
Since its release, Gaja’s 1988 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo has received praise for its dark, brooding beauty — and more than four decades later, this wine just won’t quit! Layers and layers of juicy red and blue fruits mingle with rich spices, tarry earth, warm saddle leather, pressed rose petals and underbrush in this knockout cru Barbaresco. Tannins are silky and show beautiful integration, but this wine retains its vibrant energy; it’s a Gaja for the ages! Made with a small component of Barbera and aged in barrique, Gaja’s 1988 Sorì San Lorenzo stands the test of time, marrying tannic power with an ageless ethereal feel and creating a rare drinking experience for Gaja’s many fans.
