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

Pronounced aromas of citrus, blackberry, currant and raspberry, violet, lily of the valley, rose and wild herbs.  The complexity of the nose carries onto the palate with similar flavours.  The wine has good density and concentration on the palate with ripe opulent tannins and wonderful persistence on the finish.  The aromas and flavours continue to evolve in the glass.
