Gaja Sorì Tildìn 2001 – Langhe DOC Nebbiolo Produced by one of Italy’s most iconic wineries, Sorì Tildìn is one of the three historic single-vineyard crus of Gaja. The name comes from the south-facing vineyard (“Sorì” in the local Piedmontese dialect) and from Clotilde Rey, Angelo Gaja’s grandmother, affectionately known as “Tildìn.” The 2001 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest vintages in Piedmont over the last decades, offering exceptional balance, depth, and remarkable aging potential. Made predominantly from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the renowned Sorì Tildìn vineyard in Barbaresco, this wine represents one of the highest expressions of the Langhe terroir. Following Angelo Gaja’s decision to classify his historic crus under Langhe DOC rather than Barbaresco DOCG, Sorì Tildìn has remained a benchmark for quality and excellence.
