Sori San Lorenzo 1999 from Angelo Gaja is a structured, single-vineyard red wine from the Barbaresco appellation, primarily Nebbiolo blended with a small percentage of Barbera. A revered Piedmont producer, Angelo Gaja pioneered the use of small barriques and shorter macerations in the region. The 1999 vintage was excellent across the region, producing intense, classic wines with great balance and power. This wine displays a deep, concentrated profile, offering powerful aromas of dark cherry, black truffle, liquorice and dried earth. The palate is dense and robust, showcasing huge structural power and a dense core of fruit.

The 1999 Sorì San Lorenzo is a modern-day classic. Freshly cut flowers, mint, chalk, bright red cherries and anise jump from the glass in a pure, crystalline wine endowed with magnificent tension and precision. Pulsating in the glass, the 1999 is all about energy and weightless precision. In that sense, the 1999 is a younger version of the 1982.Antonio Galloni1st November 2014

From Turin to Tuscany

The Gaja Winery was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja and has been owned and operated by five generations of the Gaja family. One of Italy’s most renowned and dynamic wineries, Gaja first established its world-class reputation with the powerful reds it produced in the region of Piemonte in Northwestern Italy.

A key figure was Angelo Gaja, who took over the running of the estate in 1970 and sought to showcase the best that the Nebbiolo grape could produce with stellar Barolo and Barbaresco wines. The estate produces unique white wines too, such as the marvellous single varietal Sauvignon Blanc, Alteni di Brassica.

Gaja is also a leading name in Tuscany, having diversified into the production of Brunello and Super Tuscan wines. The Gaja family have owned the Pieve Santa Restituta estate since 1994 from which they produce two single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino wines, Rennina and Sugarille. In 1996, Angelo Gaja purchased the Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri.
