More information about Sori San Lorenzo - Gaja

The bouquet reveals complex aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and subtle spices. A hint of leather and tobacco adds an elegant depth to the fragrance, rounded off by floral notes of violets and a delicate hint of ripe plum. On the palate, this wine presents a strong structure, supported by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. The balanced combination makes it both approachable and multifaceted. The finish is long-lasting and delights with mineral notes that underline the character of the terroir.
Vinification of Sori San Lorenzo by Gaja
The vinification of Sori San Lorenzo begins with carefully selected grapes sourced from the hanging vines of the Bodega. The cultivation is carried out with a respectful approach to nature. The grapes benefit from a mild climate, providing ideal conditions for ripening. After harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and vinified using a traditional maceration fermentation method. This process typically lasts several weeks, with temperature control playing a central role. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic qualities. After fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in old oak barrels, which adds additional complexity and roundness. This slow aging allows for a harmonious integration of wood notes without overshadowing the fruit.
