GAJA Sori San Lorenzo is a red wine from Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy, made from Nebbiolo. The Sorì San Lorenzo vineyard faces south, and its name comes from the local dialect for a south-facing hillside and San Lorenzo, the patron saint of Alba's Cathedral. The vineyard was church property until 1964, when the Gaja family purchased it.
The wine is deep red with aromas of white musk, roots, bark, graphite, gravel, and a marzipan note. On the palate, it shows dark cherry, black currant, menthol, and black pepper, with integrated tannins and acidity. It is the most austere and strongest of the vineyards and typically reaches maturity in the bottle later than others. The structure is rich and complex, with fruity, mineral, and spicy notes, and it has aging potential.
