Tasting Note

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.

Product Notes

Gaja Alteni di Brassica is a white wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy by the esteemed winery, Gaja. This wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Alteni vineyard, which is located in the Barbaresco commune. It boasts a bright and lively acidity balanced by a rich and full-bodied texture. The aroma is delicate and floral with hints of citrus and tropical fruit, and the taste is dry with subtle notes of hazelnut and minerals. This is a distinguished wine that pairs well with seafood, antipasti, and light pasta dishes. It is best served chilled and is a perfect summer sipper.
