Sori San Lorenzo

2006 Langhe Nebbiolo

The Gaja Sori San Lorenzo is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Langhe region, crafted in the remarkable vintage of 2006. This wine showcases a deep ruby color that hints at its intensity and complexity. On the nose, it offers an alluring bouquet of black cherries, dried roses, and a touch of truffle, supported by hints of earthy undertones. The palate reveals a full-bodied structure, elegantly balanced with bright acidity that enlivens each sip. Its tannins are firm yet finely textured, providing a solid backbone that will reward cellaring for years to come. The wine finishes with a persistent sense of fruitiness and a delightful, dry finish that leaves you wanting more. Gaja's commitment to quality and tradition shines through in this exceptional Nebbiolo.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
