cherry pit

when the normal production should have been around 100

it's drinking beautifully today but has another two-plus decades of evolution

but that period is down to several months from a full year the wine spent in small barrels up until 2001 or so

(50% whole clusters)

Gaja, Sori San Lorenzo other_regions cherry pitThe 2001 Sor San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture. Ripe, silky tannins provide the backdrop as the 2001 opens up in the glass. The 2001 is still fresh, primary and very young. Ideally, it needs another 5 years or so in the cellar. There is little doubt the 2001 is shaping up to be one of the most elegant Sor San Lorenzos ever made. Today, it is dazzling. Antonio Galloni
