Gaja Alteni di Brassica 2013

Langhe, Italy

Taut and mineral-driven, with razor-sharp acidity that cuts through layers of white peach, wet stone and alpine herbs. The north-facing Barbaresco and Serralunga sites deliver serious tension here. This feels wound tight, almost austere in its precision. Haunting floral notes drift through the long, chalky finish. Needs 2-3 years to open.
