Gaja's Sorì San Lorenzo 1998 is a stunning Italian red and one of the estate's flagship wines.

Angelo Gaja is one of Italy's most renowned and dynamic winemakers, producing world class wines that command world class prices. Since he took over the family business in 1970 he has focused on harnessing the power of the Nebbiolo grape in his pursuit of a richer more refined style of Barbaresco.

Angelo, who now controls 30 estates covering 100 hectares of Piedmont’s finest vineyard sites, has introduced impressive modern winemaking facilities and initiated single vineyard Barbarescos.

Evocative, glamorous and voluptuous, with softening smoky black fruits, toasty oak, tobacco and tar.

“We have run out of adjectives to describe the quality of Gaja's wines...we preferred the Sorì San Lorenzo, which is already ready to drink but will really come into its own as it matures...it unfolds ripe fruit aromas softened by touches of balsam and toasty oak.The palate is full and the fruit assures a progression of extraordinary length.” Gambero Rosso, Italian Wines, 2004
