VINOVE' SALES!!
Gaia & Rey by Gaja is a white wine of great elegance and softness made from 100% Chardonnay grapes , a paradigmatic excellence of Langhe whites. A wine dedicated to Gaia and Clotilde Rey , Angelo Gaja's daughter and grandmother respectively.
This label is characterized by excellent freshness , where the sip excites with elegance and refinement, bringing us back to the feminine soul to which this grandiose white is dedicated . On the nose it is a riot of aromas , with notes that move from fruit to flowers, with a hint also of sweet spices. In the mouth you can immediately perceive the excellent structure, delicate but with a sip in which freshness and flavor contribute to making the drink extremely smooth , all closed with a truly noteworthy persistence.
First of all, this is a Gaja wine and on which Angelo has dedicated a lot of attention, precisely because of the family dedication. But then this is a label with which the winery confirms that it is also a point of reference for the production of superb white wines .
Worth trying to discover a white wine different from all the others.
A perfect wine to drink immediately, but can grow well in the cellar. For a perfect pairing I recommend you accompany white meats or fish-based dishes, even with red sauces.
If you want to try something more delicious then Gaia & Rey is fantastic with vegetable risottos , for example an artichoke risotto.
Uncork the bottle and let it 'breathe' for 15-30 minutes , serve it chilled at a temperature of 10-12°C.
The grapes, after having been carefully selected during the harvest, are fermented in barriques . Then we move on to the refinement phase, carried out first for 12 months in barrique and, after bottling, for another 6 months directly in the bottle .
The Chardonnay vineyards are cultivated in the hilly area of the Langhe , in the municipality of Barbaresco. It is precisely in this context of rolling hills and breathtaking views that the Gaja estate, founded in 1859, stands.
The soil is marly and calcareous , with clay infiltrations, medium compact.
