Parker über Gaia & Rey 2016
It's hard not to love the 2016 Langhe Gaia & Rey. The winemaking approach has been tweaked to allow for less malolactic fermentation. Before, up to 60% or 70% of the mass completed malolactic fermentation, but with this vintage, that number has been reduced to about 20%. Indeed, the acidity is bright, forward and elegantly unmasked. This is a sharp and tonic white wine that delivers a firm grasp on the palate. The flavor profile includes citrus, honeydew melon and salty mineral nuances derived from limestone-rich soils.
Suckling über Gaia & Rey 2016
This is very well done with chalk, a touch of cloves, quartz, spices, slate, limes, lemons, thyme and sea salt. The palate is very sophisticated with ripeness tuned to a tee. Full-bodied but very reserved and subtle with layers of green fruit and spicy undertones throughout. Cutthroat acidity that never overpowers. Long on the finish.

Angelo Gaja
Informationen zum Winzer:
The family winery is now one of the best known in Italy and can look back on a centuries-old history. The success story of owner Angelo Gaja began in the 17th century when the family emigrated from Spain to Italy. In 1859, a member of the family, a grape producer in Barbaresco, laid the foundation for the current company by opening a tavern, which also served their own wines. The wines were already so popular at the end of the 19th century that they were supplied to the Italian army, among others. Already in the second generation of the family, an unusually high value was placed on quality, with the aim of retaining a predominantly upscale clientele.
