"The Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn 2016 is open, more concentrated and structured. There are lovely floral notes of rose hip or wild rose in this generous, broad wine. Here, we're talking about smaller fruits such as plums, blackcurrants, blackberries and lots of power. Everything has reached perfect ripeness in this 2016 vintage, representing that rare fusion of quantity and quality." (Wine Advocate 2019)

Expert opinion

Rated (2019 guide) 97/100 (Extraordinary wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Here's a wonderfully spicy and opulent interpretation of Nebbiolo, another very complete and rich Barbaresco from Gaja. The Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn 2016 is open, more concentrated and structured. There are lovely floral notes of rose hip or wild rose in this generous, broad wine. Here, we're talking about smaller fruits such as plums, blackcurrants, blackberries and lots of power. Everything has reached perfect ripeness in this 2016 vintage, representing that rare fusion of quantity and quality. That's what you get from the dense soils of a warm, south-facing vineyard in Sorì Tildìn and similar where the land can hold moisture. The 2016 growing season was also marked by abrupt changes in the weather, with precipitation falling at just the right times.

About the wine:
Extremely fragrant aromas of dried flowers, dried strawberries and pumice, as well as tar, follow through to a full body, with mellow, polished tannins and a long, juicy finish. Fairly broad tannins. Dusty texture. Drink from 2021.
