If we were to name just one Barbaresco producer, it would of course be Angelo Gaja. In the family domain, he is actively supported by his wife Lucia, his daughters Gaia and Rossana and the famous and excellent oenologist Guido Rivella.
The grapes come from a single plot called Sori San Lorenzo. This vineyard was acquired in 1964 and was named after the Saint of the Cathedral of Alba: San Lorenzo.
The Sorì San Lorenzo is generally the most powerful and austere of the Gaja's wines.
