The Story

The Sorì Tildìn vineyard is named after the beloved matriarch of the GAJA family, Clotilde Rey, daughter-in-law of founder Giovanni Gaja. Known for her strong personality, the adored Clotilde was affectionately known by the nickname Tildìn (teel-DEEN), a diminutive of her Christian name.

Like the Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn is widely considered one of the greatest growing sites in Italy today. Purchased in 1967, the 8-acre vineyard is sit...

Written Notes

Cranberry, rose petal, black tea, and crushed slate. Deep and focused on the palate, with dense, ultra-fine tannins and a long, saline finish.

A wine that genuinely gives you chills. It has this regal, aristocratic stillness to it—subtle Earl Grey tea, dried rosewater,wild strawberry, and damp slate. What struck me most was its momentum: it starts whisper-quiet and seamless, then expands across the mid-palate with breathtaking energy and ultra-fine, lace-like tannins that just go on forever. It’s poetic,crystalline, and easily one of my favorite wines of the entire lineup.

A magnificent, complete expression displaying exceptional depth, pedigree, and tension. The nose is hauntingly complex,weaving together macerated cranberries, dark rose petal essence, Earl Grey tea, graphite, and white truffle. The palate entry is seamless and expansive, building tremendous momentum toward a core of pure, crystalline red fruit framed by ultra-refined, architectural tannins. Its mineral drive and saline lift on the persistent finish reveal a wine of supreme balance and regal poise built for multi-decade cellar aging.


The Season: A textbook cool-climate Mediterranean growing season. Winter brought abundant snowfall and rain, building deep subterranean water tables. Late spring frosts reduced yields by roughly 10–15% across several valleys.Summer was hot and dry, but cool alpine breezes and sharp night-time drops preserved freshness. A long, sun-drenched autumn extended hanging times well into mid-October, allowing Nebbiolo to achieve flawless phenolic maturity.



The Style: An undisputed benchmark vintage destined for multi-decade cellaring. The wines are aristocratic, chiseled, and intensely structured, defined by towering, fine-grained tannins, crystalline red and dark berry fruit, and saline mineral persistence. They demand patience and represent modern Piedmont at its structural peak.
