fine wine 👑
DESCRIPTION
This wine is a tribute to the far-sightedness of Angelo Gaja, who in 1983 decided to plant Sauvignon Blanc on land that was previously destined exclusively for Nebbiolo. Sure that the mineral characteristics of those soils would have given character and freshness to the wine.
BARBARESCO (CN)
Fermentation in steel.
The refinement goes through barriques and large wooden barrels.
The Alteni di Brassica is a wine that presents itself, upon visual examination, with a golden yellow color that is striking for its concentration and intensity. The nose is fine and subtle, dominated by notes of exotic fruit and herbaceous and vegetal sensations, typically varietal. On the palate it is full-bodied, deep and harmonious, with a sip characterized by a pleasant freshness, which nourishes a full and satisfying drink. A label that confirms all the great quality of Gaja, able to amaze the palate of enthusiasts not only with sublime red wines, but also with a white of the highest level.

CELLAR
The history of this dynasty began in 1859 when the great-great-grandfather Giovanni founded the historic winery in Barbaresco, since then Gaja has remained synonymous with quality. Great-grandmother Clotilde Rey encouraged Angelo, the second generation of the family, to focus on quality production as early as the early 900s, when times imposed that economic rigor that led to making quantity the watchword of many producers, as he continues. to happen in our times, by the way. In 1961, on his debut in the company, Angelo, the fourth generation of the family, pioneered the enhancement of Barbaresco in the world. He was the first to understand that exports were the winning card for Italian wine: by offering his product on the American market, he began the great climb of his cellar. Today this reality has 100 hectares of vineyards in Piedmont and more than 200 in Tuscany, thus combining Piedmontese production with the most renowned Tuscan wines, Brunello di Montalcino in the lead. The oenologist Guido Rivella is the soul of all the wines of the Gaja family. Tonight's extraordinary tasting, led by an ever-great Guido Invernizzi, begins with a splendid champagne and ends with a Calvados, passing through Montalcino, Reinghau and obviously arriving in Barbaresco.
