Gaja’s Sorì San Lorenzo is the dark one of the trio, a brooding and romantic Byronic hero. The first of the crus to be bottled individually in 1967, Sorì San Lorenzo typically requires the most patience of the three bottlings, but its intense aromatics, velvety mouth-feel and sensuous, complex palate reward a wine-lover’s restraint. Concentrated, powerful and masculine, Sorì San Lorenzo usually shows brambly fruit, smoke, espresso or mocha, and fresh herbs. It’s dense, layered, massy in complexity, and utterly swoon-worthy.
- Country: Italy

- Subregion/Appellation: Langhe Rosso
While rooted in the tradition of the Langhe, Angelo Gaja recognizes the Nebbiolo grape’s inherent flexibility that allows it to bend to the market’s desire for both oak-driven and tannic styles. Gaja has enriched this foundation with an open-minded sensibility that marries traditional practices and technological innovation, thereby extending Piemonte’s international reach. Gaja’s wines are among the world’s most acclaimed and sought-after bottlings. Gaja’s wines appreciate, trading at premium prices and invariably elevating the price standard in Piemonte, where Gaja’s primary 250-acre estate is located in the Barbaresco and Barolo districts. Striking, profound and age-worthy, Gaja's wines display opulence and elegance. When collectors consider Italian wines for their cellar, Gaja is one of the first names they purchase, and for good reason. Gaja is the gold standard.
