GAJA WINES

GAJA is a world-renowned winery in Piemonte, Northwestern Italy. Founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja in Barbaresco, it began with just 2 hectares of vineyards. Over generations, the estate expanded, but its most significant growth came under Angelo Gaja, the fifth generation, who took over in 1970 after starting vineyard work in 1961.

In 1988, he acquired 28 hectares in Barolo, launching the single-vineyard wine “Sperrs” in 1992. He also introduced Chardonnay (Gaia & Rey) and Sauvignon Blanc (Alteni di Brassica) to Barbaresco. Expansion continued into Tuscany with Pieve Santa Restituta in 1994 (Brunello di Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda in 1996 (Bolgheri).

Today, GAJA owns 250 acres across Barbaresco, Treiso, Serralunga d’Alba, and La Morra, producing over 40 red and white wines, including Eau de Vie (Grappa). The most prized are its single-vineyard Barbaresco wines, with top vintages from 1989, 1990, 1997, 1999, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2013. The winery remains dedicated to quality and meticulous craftsmanship, securing its place as a leader in fine Italian wines.
