A hedonistic wine with lusciously ripe flavors of guava, tangerine, honey, marzipan and oak spice, Gaia & Rey isn’t merely the best Italian Chardonnay--it may also be the very best Italian white. Impressively chewy in the mouth, the concentrated, ripe fruit is perfectly balanced by lively acidity that holds through the long, lingering finish. From Angelo's first Chardonnay vineyard that’s named for his oldest daughter, Gaia Gaja, and his grandmother, Clotilde Rey, Gaia & Rey is fermented with naturally occurring yeasts found on the grape skins and in the winery, giving the wine an added touch of exoticism. Intensely age-worthy, as this wine matures, tertiary notes of nuts, butter and caramel appear, illustrating why Gaia & Rey is one of Italy’s most collectable white wines.
