Gaja Sori San Lorenzo 2014
Descrição
Gaja Sori San Lorenzo debe su nombre a la finca de la que proceden las uvas con las que se elabora, una de las pocas individuales que la célebre bodega Gaja, encabezada por la cuarta generación de la familia homónima, posee en el Langhe, subzona del Piamonte. Se obtiene exclusivamente con la variedad Nebbiolo y tiene una crianza de 12 meses en barricas, para pasar posteriormente otro año más en los toneles de madera conocidos como "botti", de mayor tamaño. Un vino con marcados aromas de fruta madura en nariz, toques especiados y una estructura tersa y firme en boca. Ideal para disfrutar con serias propuestas gastronómicas como pueden ser platos de caza, carnes rojas o asados.

Shimmering ruby with a pronounced garnet shimmer. Rich, intense nose, opens with notes of dark wild raspberries, cherry compote, some strawberry jam, very ripe fruit, at the same time also fresh and clear. Opens up like a peacock’s tail on the palate, much present fruit, finely-meshed, dense and at the same time elegant tannin opens up in many layers, very long in the finish with full vigour and drive.
Gaja's 2014 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is clearly at the beginning of a long and promising aging trajectory. At it's core, it shows a pinch of nervous energy and inner tightness that will surely unravel and soften as this beautiful wine continues along its magical journey in time. Angelo Gaja and his family present spectacular results in this controversial 2014 vintage. They have risen far above most of their peers and have shown a keen ability to understand their site and the versatility of their cherished Nebbiolo grape. The variety sings with a loud and exuberant voice, first offering plenty of primary fruit like blackberry and dried cherry. It then follows up with savory earth and spice. This is a bright and youthful wine that is set steady for a long aging future.
This is closed at first – indeed it's just a baby – but soon opens up with some air to display wild strawberries, red cherries, cedar and nutmeg. The palate is full but very tight and refined, showing firm, grippy tannins that need time, driven acidity and a long, minerally finish. Better in 2020.
Forest floor, Porcini mushroom, eucalyptus, dark spice and toasted aromas curl out of the glass. It's youthfully austere, offering cranberry, sour cherry and licorice framed in assertive, close-grained tannins. It still needs time to come around and fully bloom. Drink 2024–2034.
La familia Gaja se estableció en la región del Piamonte, en el noroeste de Italia, a mediados del siglo XVII y fue Giovanni Gaja (bisabuelo del actual propietario) el que fundó la bodega en las colinas Langhe del Piamonte en 1859.
