Gaja - Alteni Di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc Italie, 2021

Gaja’s Alteni di Brassica is one of Italy’s most sought-after Sauvignon Blancs, combining unmistakable Piedmont character with the precision and elegance the house is known for. Crafted from carefully selected parcels, it stands out for its depth, minerality and refined style, with a reputation built over decades of excellence.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, pale straw color with green reflections. The nose is expressive and layered, offering notes of citrus zest, white peach, elderflower, freshly cut herbs and subtle mineral tones. On the palate, it is vibrant and focused, balancing ripe fruit with crisp acidity and a clean, saline edge. The texture is polished rather than heavy, giving the wine both immediacy and length. While already appealing in youth, it has the structure to develop additional complexity over several years.

Production
Alteni di Brassica is produced from Sauvignon Blanc grown in carefully chosen vineyards in Piedmont, where cool nights and well-exposed sites help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The grapes are harvested with precision to capture optimal ripeness, then vinified with attention to detail to protect the wine’s purity and expression of place.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, asparagus, fresh goat cheese and herb-driven dishes. Serve it well chilled, around 8–10°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help the bouquet open up.

Producer
Gaja is one of Italy’s most celebrated wine estates, founded in 1859 in Barbaresco and long regarded as a benchmark producer in Piedmont. Under the Gaja family, the estate has played a major role in elevating Italian wine on the world stage, earning acclaim for its consistency, innovation and outstanding site-driven wines.
