Gaja is known for bringing modern methods and unique grape varieties to a region entrenched in tradition. This assortment case includes three sought-after wines: two Langhe Sorì Tildìn, two Langhe Sorì San Lorenzo, and two Langhe Costa Russi. The price doubled in 2020 and retails in the quadruple digits.

Gaja Sorì Tildìn has a history that is as rich as its complexion. It’s named Sorì after the Piedmontese word for a “hilltop with southern exposure,” and Tildìn, a nickname for Angelo Gaja’s grandmother. The red wine is one of three single-vineyard Barbaresco wines that Gaja produces in exceptional years. The estate only releases a few dozen cases per year, with investors spending north of $400 per bottle.
