The Gaja winery is synonomous with excellence and innovation in the world of fine wines. The winery was established in Barbaresco, in the Langhe region of Piemonte in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja and has grown from a humble family venture to an internationally acclaimed estate and recognizable brand. Gaja’s wines and reputation has contributed to the popularity and success of other producers from this part of Italy.
Gaja’s roots are in the Langhe region, where they cultivate about 250 acres of vineyards the districts of Barbaresco and Barolo. In the 1994, the Gaja family expanded its winemaking footprint by acquiring the Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Tuscany’s Montalcino area to craft Brunello. Shortly thereafter they ventured into the southern Tuscan Maremma and founded Ca’Marcanda, in Bolgheri where the 150 acres are planted to a diverse range of international grape varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.
Gaja is commitment to quality, tradition, and continuous innovation.
Tasting Notes
Method
Made from Nebbiolo grapes from the prestigious appellation of Barbaresco in the Langhe, Piemonte; an appellation that owes much of its success and fame to Angelo Gaja who put the wines for this area on the map. The wine ages for the mandated time of 26 months; of which 9 must be spent in oak, here the wine is aged in a combination of barriques and larger oak barrels.
