🏰The 2022 Gaja Alteni di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc is a highly acclaimed white wine from Langhe, symbolizing Gaja's dedication to white wine potential and praised for its 【super-elegant, refined character and vibrant freshness】 despite a warm vintage. This Sauvignon Blanc, now including 30% fruit from newly planted Alta Langa vineyards, displays a brilliant pale gold color. On the nose, it offers intense spicy notes of sage, white pepper, and sweet licorice, evolving into fruitier characters of citron, lemon peel, grapefruit, ripe pear, and nectarine. Expect citrus, botanical, and mineral notes, along with complex scents of resin, juniper, cucumber, fig leaves, sap, and a hint of gunpowder. The palate is well-balanced with a salty savoriness that complements its acidity, offering a creamy texture, attractive tension, and a fine mouthfeel with minerality. 🍴 This elegant and complex white wine is versatile with food. It pairs beautifully with seafood, especially oysters, grilled fish, or rich fish courses like tuna. It also complements roasted chicken, creamy risottos, and fresh goat cheese. 🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated aperitif, a fine dining experience, or a special gathering where a high-quality, aromatic white wine is desired. It's enjoyable now but also has remarkable aging potential.
