Gaja Sauvignon Blanc Alteni Di Brassica Langhe 2019 750 ML

Gaja Alteni di Brassica 2019 is an aromatic white wine with fragrant notes of white fruit accompanied by herbal hints and mineral touches. On the palate it is crisp, fresh and clean. A wine with a casual expression that is very easy to drink thanks to its refreshing and spicy acidity.\n \n Producer Information\n Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy. Originating in and still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy, the Gaja name remains most strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, though the company now makes more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont. The business was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja with just two hectares (five acres) of vineyards in Barbaresco. Each generation saw expansion, although Angelo Gaja, who took over full-time in 1970, is often credited with the estate's more recent success. He was responsible for overseeing sweeping changes in the vineyards and cellars, and introducing the famed single-vineyard Barbaresco wines Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, and Costa Russi (now Langhe DOC wines). These changes were not always well-received: famously, the name of the Darmagi Cabernet Sauvignon translates as 'what a pity', referring to Angelo's father's regret over the introduction of Bordeaux varieties.
