Parker über Sorì San Lorenzo 1997
Profound, the 1997 Sori San Lorenzo is an elegant, nuanced, and complex Gaja offering. It exhibits a striking perfume of lead pencil, roasted nuts, black fruits, spice box, leather, cedar, and Chinese black tea. Forward yet enormously constituted and rich, with an ethereal elegance underpinning its personality, the Sori Lorenzo displays a classic combination of power and finesse. Sadly, there are only 10,000 bottles. As this wine sat in the glass, notes of Japanese soy sauce made an appearance.

Sorì San Lorenzo 1997
The Sorì San Lorenzo is the most famous and oldest single vineyard of Gaja. Vinified for the first time as a Cru in 1967, the Barbarseco Sorí San Lorenzo, with its majestic appearance, is Angelo Gaja's most expressive and full-bodied wine. If the three individual positions of Gaja were the three tenors, the Sorì would be San Lorenzo Luciano Pavarotti...great opera.

Informationen zum Winzer:
The family winery is now one of the best known in Italy and can look back on a centuries-old history. The success story of owner Angelo Gaja began in the 17th century when the family emigrated from Spain to Italy. In 1859, a member of the family, a grape producer in Barbaresco, laid the foundation for the current company by opening a tavern, which also served their own wines. The wines were already so popular at the end of the 19th century that they were supplied to the Italian army, among others. Already in the second generation of the family, an unusually high value was placed on quality, with the aim of retaining a predominantly upscale clientele.
