97 AG "The 1988 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is in great shape. Black cherries, plums, smoke, tar and menthol burst from the glass in an explosive, structured Barbaresco built on depth, power and firm, insistent tannins. A dark, brooding wine, the 1988 Sorì San Lorenzo is the first in a trio of epic Barbarescos from Angelo Gaja that round out the decade in style." 93 WS Elegant, muscular and totally focused, a harmonious wine that marries its cedary plum, black cherry, violet and tar aromas and flavors smoothly and with definite style. Has the balance and sweet tannins to improve..

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
Produces Nebbiolo of slightly more elegance and approachability than neighboring Barolo, offering perfume, finesse and firm structure.
