Gaja - Barbaresco Sori Tildin 2016

The Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn 2016 is open, more concentrated, and structured. There are lovely floral notes of rosehip and wild rose in this generous, full-bodied wine. We're talking about smaller fruits such as plums, blackcurrants, blackberries, and lots of power. Everything has reached perfect maturity in this 2016 vintage, representing that rare fusion of quantity and quality." (Wine Advocate 2019)

About wine:
This is a wonderfully spicy and opulent interpretation of Nebbiolo, another very complete and rich Barbaresco from Gaja. The Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn 2016 is open, more concentrated, and structured. There are lovely floral notes of rosehip or wild rose in this generous and broad wine. We are talking here about smaller fruits such as plums, blackcurrants, blackberries, and lots of power. Everything has reached perfect maturity in this 2016 vintage, representing that rare fusion of quantity and quality. This is what you get from the dense soils of a warm, south-facing vineyard in Sorì Tildìn and other similar vineyards where the soil can retain moisture. The 2016 growing season was also marked by sudden changes in weather, with rainfall coming at just the right times.

About wine:
Extremely fragrant aromas of dried flowers, dried strawberries, and pumice stone, as well as tar, extending into a full-bodied palate with soft, polished tannins and a long, juicy finish. Fairly broad tannins. Dusty texture. Drink from 2021 onwards.
