Alteni di Brassica Gaja 2019

The white Alteni di Brassica provides us, if there was still a need, a testament to the great skill and continuous pursuit of perfection by Gaja, a winery that impresses not only with the great Barbaresco but also with this label, complete and comprehensive. It is indeed a bottle that expresses a splendid varietal typicity, as it commendably portrays the characteristics of the grape variety initially used, Sauvignon. Exotic fruit and vegetal notes alternate on the nose, while a refreshing sip accompanies the tasting, making Alteni di Brassica ideal for pairing with first and second courses based on fish.

This white wine Alteni di Brassica is born from the pure use of a great international grape variety, Sauvignon. It is a variety widely cultivated all over the world, which, even in Piemonte, finds some particularly suited areas. Gaja, in particular, cultivates it within the terroir of the Langhe, and the grapes, after harvesting, are vinified and aged for six months in small French oak barrels. Once this maturation is completed, the wine is ready to be bottled and marketed.

Alteni di Brassica is a wine that presents itself, upon visual examination, with a golden yellow color that impresses with its concentration and intensity. Fine and subtle on the nose, dominated by notes of exotic fruit and herbaceous and vegetal sensations, typically varietal. On the palate, it has excellent body, deep and harmonious, with a sip characterized by a pleasant freshness, which nourishes a full and satisfying tasting experience. A label that confirms all the great quality of Gaja, capable of surprising the palate of enthusiasts not only with sublime red wines but also with a white of the highest level. Try it to believe!
