Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo Gaja 1989
Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo Gaja 1989 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barbaresco, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 37-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Sorì San Lorenzo 1989 is Nebbiolo red from the Langhe. Massive tannins and deep fruit concentration celebrate this legendary Piedmontese year, which remains a reference point for the region. This single-vineyard bottling exhibits a profound profile of black cherries, tar, liquorice and dried flowers. Now fully mature, the tannins have resolved into a fine-grained texture, though the wine retains its characteristic structural grip and aromatic height. It possesses a vertical structure and a long, balsamic finish that reflects the technical precision of Angelo Gaja and the unique terroir of the Barbaresco region.
