Gaja Sauvignon Blanc Alteni di Brassica 2018
Gaja Alteni di Brassica Langhe Piedmont 2018 is a vibrant beauty that captures your attention with aromas of white roses, exotic fruit, Star jasmine, and ginger bread. The mouthfeel is lean with crisp notes of pear, honeydew melon and a sexy finish that left us begging for more. This supremely delicious white wine is a show-stopper for happy hour and will pair with a wide variety of menus featuring seafood, poultry, etc. Bravo!
Gaja Winery
The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce
original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who
made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It
started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco,
making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery,
producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the
region. Ever since, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that
of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo's direction, the the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to
world-class esteem.
Today, Angelo Gaja, alongside Guido Rivella, his winemaker since 1970, and his
daughter, Gaia, advance their legacy. To fully realize their vision, all Gaja wines are
produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres
in Piedmont's Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta
(Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is from these storied vineyards, and the
earth, weather and vines upon them, that Gaja wines reveal their true heart.
