Product Notes

Gaja Alteni di Brassica is a refined Italian white wine packed with rich, elegant flavours. Hailing from the prestigious Langhe region, it bears distinct minerality and a touch of nuttiness, cleverly contrasted against the tropical fruit undertones. It's made primarily from the sauvignon blanc grapes, that upon maturity lend the crisp acidity and boldness unique to this wine. This wine is meticulously crafted by the respected Gaja family, renowned worldwide for their exceptional viticulture skills. Every sip elicits an unforgettable expression of craftsmanship, making Gaja Alteni di Brassica an excellent choice for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Powerful and nuanced, the 2016 Alteni di Brassica reaches a new level of complexity. It opens with intense spicy notes of sage, white pepper, sweet liquorice and flint. Then it evolves into its fruitier character with ripe notes of citrus, lemon peel, grapefruit, green pear and nectarine. Thanks to the bright acidity and the salinity, Alteni di Brassica 2016 retains its energy and tension, well balanced by the remarkable fruit concentration which make this wine appealing even when young.
