2022 GAJA Sorì San Lorenzo Barbaresco

Elegant wine with a filigree nose of leafy lightness, watermelon, super restrained strawberries and sweet violets, as well as cherrystone and tangy mineral undertones. High-flying tannins dominate the palate, chiseled to perfection, with full body, density and extraction, yet overall elegance even now. Acidity carries the finish gracefully. It will develop more complexity in the next ten years and more, so try from 2027. But it’s excellent to drink even now.
