The Alteni di Brassica 2022 is a vibrant, finely sculpted Sauvignon Blanc, offering a balance of aromatic intensity and mineral-driven precision. The nose opens with notes of grapefruit zest, gooseberry, lemon blossom, and fresh herbs, layered with hints of flint and subtle tropical tones. On the palate, the wine is both energetic and textured, showing crystalline acidity wrapped around a sleek, polished core of citrus and white stone fruits. Gentle oak integration adds dimension without weighing the wine down. As it opens, nuances of elderflower, crushed mint, and saline minerality emerge, enhancing its lift and complexity. The finish is long, pure, and beautifully refreshing—an exemplary 2022 that showcases Gaja’s mastery with expressive, terroir-focused whites.

Gaja remains one of Italy’s most visionary estates, known for redefining Piedmontese excellence through precision, innovation, and an unwavering respect for terroir. While celebrated globally for Nebbiolo, the winery has also embraced international varieties with remarkable sensitivity, crafting whites that reflect both the Langhe’s cool climate and Gaja’s meticulous winemaking philosophy. Alteni di Brassica—named after the small stone walls (“alteni”) historically surrounding garden plots—represents the estate’s pioneering work with Sauvignon Blanc since the 1980s. The wine is thoughtfully farmed and gently vinified to highlight aromatic purity, tension, and textural finesse. Over time, it has become one of Italy’s benchmark Sauvignon Blancs, admired for its elegance and unmistakable Gaja refinement.
