The name “Gaja” is one of the most respected names in the world of wine! Join us as we taste these wines and hear the rich history behind the family and their wineries!
The Gaja family started making wine over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco and began making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Ever since, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo's direction, the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to world-class esteem.
Today, Angelo Gaja, alongside Guido Rivella, his winemaker since 1970, and his daughter, Gaia, advance their legacy. To fully realize their vision, all Gaja wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres in Piedmont's Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Montalcino and Bolgheri. It is from these storied vineyards, and the earth, weather and vines upon them, that Gaja wines reveal their true heart.
