Gaja Sauvignon Alteni di Brassica 2015

The 2015 Gaja Sauvignon Alteni di Brassica is a white wine of remarkable expression from the Langhe region of Piedmont. This wine is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, carefully selected from vineyards owned by the Gaja family. This particular vintage stands out for its green and peppery character, with distinctive mineral notes that reflect the unique terroir of the area.

The name “Alteni di Brassica” comes from the soil particles in which the vines were planted, a tribute to the history and geography of the place that contributes significantly to the profile of the wine. Angelo Gaja, one of the most influential personalities in the Italian wine scene, has introduced innovative techniques in the production of this wine, including the use of small oak barrels for aging, which give the Sauvignon Blanc increased structure and complexity without overpowering the fresh and fruity character of the grapes.

The 2015 harvest was particularly favorable, characterized by an ideal balance of ripeness that allowed us to obtain high quality grapes. The result is a wine that offers a freshness on the palate, with a balanced alcohol content of 14%, and that lends itself to prolonged aging, promising to evolve well for several years to come.
