The 2015 Sorì Tildìn from Gaja: An Italian Masterpiece

Serene, yet with a sense of contained power, the 2015 Sorì Tildìn from Gaja is a wine that immediately captures attention. Nestling within the significant portfolio of Gaja, an enigmatic producer known for their single vineyard wines, Sorì Tildìn stands as an individual - a distinctly captivating Barbaresco vintage.

 

A Year of Sheer Brilliance

The year 2015 was one for the annals in the Piedmont region. Delightful spring rains followed by incessant sunshine brought forth early budbreak which then led to the grapes developing profound ripeness. This lush climatic condition led to a richness that we see readily apparent in the 2015 vintage.

 

Unmistakable Gaja

What particularly distinguishes this 2015 Sorì Tildìn is its decisive articulation of nebulous complexities amidst thrilling structure. It offers aromas of black fruits and lush cherries wrapped in delicate hints of lavender, all carried on smooth undertones of elegant minerality. The palate reveals ripe plums, elaborate tannins and an acid structure that lends freshness and longevity.

 

Investment Promise

A true hallmark of notable fine wines from Italy, the 2015 vintage shows great potential for ageing, posing an exciting opportunity for savvy wine investors. The seismic expression of this wine converges into an investable excellence definitively achieved by Gaja's dedication to quality.

 

Nebbiolo Essence Captured

The varietal character of Nebbiolo is in full blossom here - rich dark fruit intermingled with invigorating freshness, heightened by the unique terroir essential to the mesmeric performance of the 2015 Sorì Tildìn from Gaja. This is one wine that combines grace, potency, and refined complexity with aplomb.

Seizing the essence of the fantastic 2015 vintage in Piedmont and channelling it into a bottle, Gaja crafted a wine both significant and enticing. The 2015 Sorì Tildìn encapsulates an enthralling chapter in Italian viticulture and is a testament to what can be achieved when nature’s generosity is perfectly captured by a master winemaker.

The 2015 Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn is dense and compact with smoky layers of black fruit, crushed mineral and black truffle. This growing site always produces robust and opulent wines, but these characteristics are hammered home even more so in the hot 2015 vintage. The wine graciously offers enough acidity to achieve balance and remind you of its pedigree. Barbaresco usually opens and evolves faster than Barolo. I think you can count on this wine to reach the start of its drinking window within the next decade.
