This full-bodied, powerful wine is made from the Nebbiolo grape variety, with a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the palate, it is well-structured and well-balanced, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, lingering finish. Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo is a great example of why Nebbiolo wines are some of the most sought-after in the world. Enjoy it with grilled meats, game, or aged cheese.
