Description: | Located in Piedmont in northwestern Italy, the GAJA winery is widely considered to be one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible labels. The name originates from Alteni, small stone walls that once surrounded the plots of land, and the word Brassica, yellow flowers growing in the vineyards in spring. Alteni di Brassica is produced from vineyards located in Barbaresco and Serralunga. Covering approximately 3 hectares (7.5 acres) with a mainly calcareous clay soil. The 2021 vintage of Alteni di Brassica is a classic style of Sauvignon Blanc from Langhe with notes of oyster shell, mountain herbs, white peach, and flint. With time in the glass, it opens to reveal more vibrant notes of sage, cedar, tomato leaf, and cardamom. The mouthfeel is fresh, long, and savoury with a medium-bodied style that ends with a hint of salinity. Producer: Gaja Country: Italy |
