The Gaja winery began producing wine in Barbaresco, in the Langhe, since 1859. The philosophy of bottling only the best vintages by selling the others in bulk, together with the idea of ​​the family name being the protagonist on the bottles, was Giovanni Gaja, while the chromatic representation of the labels was chosen by his son Angelo. Gaja has built around itself the image of a strong and indispensable brand, symbol of a wine that knows how to tell the poetry of its territory in the glass. This winery in the Piedmontese Langhe is recognized throughout the world for the legendary Barbaresco, in fact Angelo Gaja is nicknamed in France "The King of Barbaresco". The Gaja winery was the first to use barriques, the first to adopt caps over six centimeters long, the first to lengthen the necks of the bottles. The first in many techniques and, due to the quality levels achieved, also in the ratings. Today Gaja is a real legend in the international wine scene; the 1985 Barbaresco was considered by Wine Spectator "the finest wine ever made in Italy" and in 1997 received the distinguished Service Award. Decanter elected Angelo Gaja "man of the year" in 1998 and in 2011 Wine Spectator dedicated a cover to him. A success made of personality and soul, not only for the excellent grapes and the meticulous operations carried out in the vineyard, but also in the ability to coordinate tradition with the innovation of the times.
