WINEMAKER NOTES
Perfect fruit and tannin ripeness are the main features of the 2014 vintage. The 2014 Sorì Tildin keeps evolving in the glass, from the lively juiciness of the fruit expression into the complexity of the savory notes of fresh leather and black pepper.
The wine shows an intense expressiveness of aromas. Spices like cinnamon and clove along with hints of cola and savory herbs are immediately available in the glass. On the palate, Sorì Tildin is more approachable than usual, with silky tannins, well balanced acidity and the signature mineral, almost salty, finish.
Sorì Tildìn is widely considered one of the greatest growing sites in Italy today. Purchased in 1967, the 8-acre vineyard is situated in the township of Barbaresco. It was first vinified as a single-vineyard wine in 1970.ABV 14%

Nestled on a steep hill in Langhe is the quaint village of Barbaresco, where the renowned GAJA winery resides. The essence of GAJA Winery lies in its founding principle: crafting unique wines that embody their origin, reflecting the heritage and customs of their creators. This belief has guided five generations towards excellence in winemaking.
The journey began more than 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja established a small eatery in Barbaresco, creating wine to complement his dishes. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of Piedmont's earliest bottled wines distributed beyond the region. Each generation, notably Clotilde Rey - Angelo Gaja's grandmother, has left an indelible mark on the winery through their commitment to uncompromising quality.
In 1961, Angelo Gaja embarked on a mission to elevate the winery further by introducing barriques - 225-liter French oak barrels. Under his leadership, GAJA led the way in crafting single-vineyard designated wines and planting non-traditional varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc in Piedmont. His efforts also contributed significantly to raising Nebbiolo grape's status globally.
Today, Angelo Gaja collaborates with his children Gaia and Rossana along with son Giovanni – representing the fifth generation of the GAJA family. Together they uphold and advance the winery's rich heritage. All GAJA wines are meticulously crafted from grapes grown exclusively in estate-owned vineyards spanning across Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is within these revered vineyards and their unique terroir that GAJA wines truly express their essence and character."

| Critics Review | 96 Points - Jeb DunnuckThe 2014 Barbaresco Sori Tildin is another elegant, finesse-driven beauty that has surprising underlying structure. Coming from a warmer, 3.4-hectare terroir comprised of clay and limestone (with some sand) soils, it has classic red fruits (cherries, raspberries) as well as subtle floral and rose petal hints. It shines on the palate and has a Pinot Noir-like elegance, sweet tannin, beautiful purity of fruit, and a seamless texture. It’s another 2014 that has remarkable purity, elegance, and grace. Give it 2-3 years and enjoy over the following 2-3 decades. |
