The 2018 Gaja & Rey Langhe Vino Blanco stands out with its lively, mineral-infused profile shaped by that year’s distinctive climate. A mild spring followed by a notably warm summer ensured optimal chardonnay ripeness, producing a wine of exceptional balance and vibrant acidity. Delicate flavors of creamy pear and Meyer lemon mingle with subtle almond and flint nuances, showcasing Gaja’s expert vineyard care. Unlike many Italian fine wines that need time to reveal their depth, this vintage immediately enchants with peach blossom aromas layered over a striking mineral core reminiscent of damp stones.
