Description
Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy.
Whilst Gaja is best known for having modernized Piedmont, introducing international grape varieties and winemaking practices more common in Bordeaux or California, traditional elements remain, including long macerations and the use of larger oak barrels.
Gaja’s move beyond Barbaresco started in 1988 with the acquisition of the Sperss vineyard in neighboring Barolo. In 1994, Gaja took over the 27 hectare Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Montalcino, followed by the 118 hectare Ca’ Marcanda estate in Bolgheri.
