Reviewed April 2026

Returning to a more traditional expression of site, the 2023 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo shows the classic character of this vineyard. Medium-bodied, it offers notes of juniper, currants, cranberries, and brambly earth. The tannins have deeper structure and density compared to the other crus, giving the wine impressive backbone and longevity while retaining balance and freshness. Drink 2027-2057. (AF) 98+

Review Date: 03/2026

Smoky and elegantly austere, showing graphite, licorice, red currants, dried cherries, violets and potpourri. The attack is fresh and balanced, with firm, youthful yet polished tannins, a rounded mouthfeel and a refreshing spine of acidity. The quality is evident in the finish, with its strawberry and orange-zest nuances. Drink or hold. (AF)

Wine Advocate

Review Date: 07/2026

he Gaja 2023 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is the most powerful and broad-shouldered of the three single-vineyard Barbarescos, showing greater fruit weight and a more commanding presence from the outset. Dark berry fruit, savory spice and a pronounced note of iron ore define the bouquet, giving way to a palate of impressive richness and structure. Even with its added power, the wine remains beautifully balanced and refined, suggesting a long evolution ahead. (ML)

Notes

Sorì San Lorenzo lies near Barbaresco’s historic center, overlooking the Tanaro River. The Gaja family bought this former church property in 1964. The 2023 is Nebbiolo, with the importer recording 24 months of aging in oak. Wine Advocate places it at the powerful end of Gaja’s three vineyard Barbarescos, with dark fruit, savory spice and considerable structure. JamesSuckling.com finds firm but polished tannins, supported by refreshing acidity. The emphasis is on concentration held in proportion, with the fruit remaining clear through a substantial finish.
