Description

Il nome Alteni deriva dai piccoli muri di pietra che un tempo circondavano gli appezzamenti, mentre Brassica sono i fiori gialli che ricoprono i vigneti in Primavera. Dopo la raccolta, le uve vengono vinificate e fatte affinare in legno dai 6 agli 8 mesi, successivamente il vino è pronto per essere imbottigliato e introdotto sul mercato.

Al naso mostra un profumo floreale e aromatico tipico del vitigno, finemente amalgamato a note fruttate di papaya, pera e pompelmo. Nel calice si riversa con un colore giallo dorato; all'assaggio manifesta una struttura densa, un corpo equilibrato e un sorso notevolmente fresco e persistente al palato.

Un bianco di alto livello, che conferma le qualità e le caratteristiche della cantina Gaja, e che esprime al meglio le sue qualità organolettiche in abbinamento a primi piatti conditi con sughi leggeri, portate a base di pesce dalle svariate cotture e preparazioni, e formaggi freschi.

Gaja non è "solo" riconducibile a Barberesco e Barolo, ma rappresenta l'eccellenza anche con etichette di vini bianchi incredibilmente sublimi assolutamente da provare.

Winery history

The Gaja family has been present in the Langhe since the second half of the 19th century; the estate, established in the community of Barbaresco, became internationally renowned thanks to its modernization choices and the bottling of wines from individual vineyards. In the 1960s and 1970s Angelo Gaja introduced single-vineyard labels and experimented with techniques and grape varieties new to the area. Over time the estate has expanded beyond the heart of the Langhe with investments and holdings in other Italian regions.

Production philosophy

Pursuit of quality through the enhancement of individual crus, direct management of the grapes, technical improvements in the vineyard and winery, and a focus on balancing tradition and experimentation.

Terroir and vineyards

Headquarters and historic vineyards in the Langhe, in the municipality of Barbaresco; the portfolio also includes estates and projects outside the region.
