Sorì San Lorenzo is a hilltop (sorì) vineyard that the family bought in 1964 from the parish of Alba in Barbaresco. Out of respect, the plot was given the name of the patron saint of the local cathedral: San Lorenzo. In addition to nebbiolo, this Langhe Nebbiolo contains 5 percent barbera grapes. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in two phases: the first at 28ºC and the second at a low temperature of 18°C. The young wine is then aged in barrique for a year, followed by a year in wooden vats. It is the most powerful and complex wine of all the solo vineyards of Gaja's nebbiolo. With its high concentration of fruit, herbal aromas, structure and minerals, the San Lorenzo needs a lot of time to fully drink. Then the tannins will be melted, the spiciness will be exotic and the wine will provide unparalleled pleasure with its wonderfully long aftertaste.
