The Story

A blend of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes come from Barbaresco and Serralunga d’Alba from Barolo.

This wine is produced from grapes grown in several estate-owned vineyards. The Rossj vineyard, planted in 1984, is named for Angelo Gaja's younger daughter Rossana (Rossj). Bass is Piedmontese for the Italian basso, meaning low, a name derived from the vineyard's position. Pheasants are featured on Rossj-Bass' label to commemorate the beautiful birds that inhabit the forests adjacent to GAJA's vineyards.

Written Notes

A blend of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes come from Barbaresco and Serralunga d’Alba from Barolo.
Refined, bit reserved but bright and classy nose that shows stone fruits, apricot, citrus, white flowers and fine hints of gooseberry. A sophisticated and dry palate is crisp, mineral limestone character and very elegant, lingering finish. Perfect match with grilled scallops or cold-smoked salmon. Decant for 30 minutes. Serve 9-11°C. JL 90p (Nov 2022)
