On the nose, Gaja Gaia & Rey Langhe offers a complex bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, intertwined with delicate floral notes of jasmine and acacia. Subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak add depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and creamy texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of citrus fruits, particularly lemon and grapefruit, dominate the palate, accompanied by a touch of honey and a refreshing minerality. The wine displays a perfect balance between acidity and creaminess, resulting in a long and satisfying finish.
