Alteni di Brassica - its name "alteni", stone walls that border the vineyards, and "brassica", a yellow spring flower of the region, in no way indicate a wallflower existence. Rather, they are synonymous with the region's first Sauvignon Blanc, which Angelo Gaja has been growing since 1983. Orchard fruits, lime, mint, white flowers and white pepper lend this taut, nervy Sauvignon plenty of character and complexity. All elements are very well balanced. This is a great example of the Gaja style today. A highly elegant wine that impresses with its aromatic bouquet, fine fruit, great depth and beautiful length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beautiful aromas of sliced pears and minerals with hints of stones and peaches. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and attractive tension and mouthfeel. Just a hint of youthful spiciness." James Suckling

"The 2022 Langhe Alteni di Brassica is the wine that best symbolizes the Gaja's dedication to exploring the potential of white wines from Piedmont. Indeed, the family has now completed its impressive new winery dedicated to whites in Alta Langa. This Sauvignon Blanc tends to show raw fruit aromas of citrus and passion fruit in its younger years. It leans into aromas of orchard fruit and tends to put on more volume and textural richness with bottle age." Wine Advocate
