Gaja Alteni di Brassica Langhe 2016, Piedmont, Italy
PRESS: James Suckling - 94 points. "This shows white stones, flint, grass, green apples, herbs and preserved lemons. The palate shows great interplay between minerals and stone-fruit flesh. Medium to full body, very precise acidity and a taut finish. Drink now."
Robert Parker - 91 points.

Winemaker's Notes: Pungent aromas and flavors of gooseberry, wild herb and salty mineral converge in this lively white. Silky and deftly balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of flowers, fruit and mineral. Sauvignon Blanc.
