Description
Sorì Tildìn is a Barbaresco from Gaja, the family estate founded in 1859 in the village of Barbaresco in Piedmont. Barbaresco must be made entirely from Nebbiolo, so this 2023 is a pure expression of that grape.
Braised veal, mushroom risotto and aged Parmigiano Reggiano suit it. Young Barbaresco is tannic, so a few years in the cellar will soften it. Until then, an hour or more in the decanter at 62 to 65°F helps.
Questions about Gaja Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn 2023
- What kind of wine is Gaja?
- Gaja is a family estate in Barbaresco, Piedmont, founded in 1859. Angelo Gaja made the house famous for single-vineyard Nebbiolo reds, and Sorì Tildìn is one of those vineyard wines.
- Is Barbaresco a good wine?
- Barbaresco is Nebbiolo's other great Piedmont red beside Barolo, and it is usually a little softer and earlier drinking. Expect cherry, rose, tar and firm tannin. Sorì Tildìn is rich and age-worthy, so decanting helps.
- What does Sorì Tildìn mean?
- Sorì is Piedmontese for a south-facing slope that catches the sun, and Tildìn is the nickname of Angelo Gaja's grandmother Clotilde. The vineyard sits in Barbaresco and gives a ripe, powerful expression of Nebbiolo.
