Located in Piedmont in northwestern Italy, the GAJA winery is widely considered to be one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible labels.
The name originates from Alteni, small stone walls that once surrounded the plots of land, and the word Brassica, yellow flowers growing in the vineyards in spring.
Alteni di Brassica is produced from vineyards located in Barbaresco and Serralunga. Covering approximately 3 hectares (7.5 acres) with a mainly calcareous clay soil. Aged 6 months in stainless steel and oak.
"The 2022 Alteni di Brassica is a super-elegant, refined wine. This is the first vintage that includes 30% fruit from newly planted vineyards in Alta Langa. Bright and refined, with tons of varietal character, the 2022 is impeccable. Citrus, spice, ginger and light tropical notes linger. This is a fabulous white, especially considering the warm, dry year."
