New Vintages of Piemonte Super Star White Wines from Gaja: 2023 Gaia e Rey, 2024 Rossj Bass...

Just in time for the holidays we have secured special access to the white wines of Piemonte’s most notable and consistently revered producer, Angelo Gaja. For over half a century, Gaja has elevated not only the prestige of Piemonte but the entire identity of Italian wine, proving that Italy can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s greatest fine-wine regions. His influence has reshaped vineyard practice, cellar precision, and global perception, positioning Piemonte as a beacon of quality, innovation, and heritage.

Gaja’s mastery of white wine in the Langhe is one of his quiet triumphs—less discussed than his Barbarescos, yet equally decisive in expanding the region’s identity. What began as experiments with international varieties became a lifelong pursuit of finesse, transforming once-simple, pleasant whites into serious wines of layered complexity and unmistakable personality. Through meticulous vineyard selection, lower yields, and an obsession with purity, he lifted the Langhe’s whites from curiosity to global reference points and made them the benchmark for international varietals in Piemonte.

Across the decades, he refined this craft into an art: crafting wines that drink beautifully in their youth yet reward patience with increasing depth, texture, and aromatic nuance. These whites show Piemonte’s potential beyond Nebbiolo, proving that Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and blends can thrive here when guided by ambition and deep sensitivity to terroir. Today, they stand as some of Italy’s most sought-after whites—vibrant, sculpted, and built for both pleasure and longevity.

On request the below wines can be available for holiday delivery but please act fast as our first available allocation is extremely small.

Gaja 2022 Alteni di Brassica – Langhe Sauvignon Blanc

Vinified from meticulously selected Sauvignon Blanc parcels, the wine ferments in stainless steel before aging partially in oak to integrate texture while preserving purity. Frequent bâtonnage adds volume and aromatic layering. The result is a Sauvignon that speaks more of Langhe elegance than varietal cliché. Zesty citrus, gooseberry, and fresh basil rise first, followed by a sleek mineral line and a touch of white peach; the palate is vibrant, polished, and mouthwatering, finishing long with herbal lift.

Gaja 2024 Rossj-Bass – Langhe Bianco

A blend dominated by Chardonnay with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc, Rossj-Bass ferments in stainless steel before seeing a short maturation in barrique for texture and aromatic refinement. The wine is crafted to showcase fruit clarity, gentle creaminess, and impeccable balance. Each step emphasizes freshness while giving just enough structure to age gracefully. Soft pear, lemon cream, and jasmine float over a lightly buttery frame, refreshing yet subtly opulent, with a clean, elegant finish edged by minerality.

Gaja 2023 Gaia & Rey – Langhe Chardonnay

One of Italy’s most iconic Chardonnays, it is fermented and aged in French oak—both new and used—where bâtonnage builds depth and silkiness. Low yields and precise harvesting deliver concentration without heaviness. Extended aging in bottle completes its refinement and signature harmony. Layers of golden apple, hazelnut, chamomile, and wet stone unfold in a rich yet impeccably focused palate, finishing endlessly with a fusion of citrus zest and fine oak spice.
