Vintage Character Barbaresco DOCG 2022 Gaja Sori Tildin is a celebrated single-vineyard Nebbiolo from one of the region’s most esteemed crus, renowned for its remarkable depth and elegance. The 2022 vintage in Piedmont was marked by a warm, dry growing season, which fostered excellent ripeness and concentration in the grapes while preserving refined tannins and vibrant structure. This strong vintage produced wines of notable intensity and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 97 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with expressive aromas of rose petals, red cherries, licorice, and subtle hints of tar. On the palate, layers of ripe raspberry, plum, and delicate spice are woven together with polished tannins and a silky texture, culminating in a persistent finish underscored by mineral nuances and savory finesse. Sori Tildin pairs beautifully with roasted rack of lamb, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Peking duck, each dish enhancing the wine’s aromatic complexity and supple structure.
