Gaja Alteni di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc 2019

94 POINTS: Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2019 Alteni di Brassica is bright, focused and full of energy. Sage, mint, tomato leaf and a whole range of varietal accents lend vibrancy to this beautifully sculpted, phenolic in feel Sauvignon from the Gaja family. The 2019 was fermented and aged in a combination of steel and cask, with no racking until bottling. I especially admire the precision here."

Fermented and aged in oak for 6 to 8 months, the wine opens with layered and complex notes of papaya and pineapple juice followed by vegetal hints of sage and a reminiscent note of plant sap. On the palate, the 2019 Alteni di Brassica shows well defined fruity notes (grapefruit, papaya, pear) with flower and spicy hints. Balanced body and refined structure in the month, supported by great freshness. Excellent bottle ageing capacity.

ABV: 13.5%
