Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Gaja's Rossj-Bass, a Langhe white of Chardonnay with a few percent of Sauvignon Blanc, named for Angelo Gaja's youngest daughter Rossana. White peach and citrus over subtle oak, with hazelnut, white flowers and a taut, saline line. Fresher and more immediate than Gaia & Rey, it is delicious young yet holds and broadens for several years in bottle.
