The brand new Gaja Alteni Sauvignon Blanc sports a super flashy bouquet and invites your attention with aromas of white roses, Star jasmine, and ginger bread. The mouthfeel is both elegant and immensely refreshing with crisp notes of pear, honeydew melon, lemongrass and a racy finish that lasted a full minute and left us begging for more. This supremely well-balanced nectar 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.
