GAJA

The Gaja estate in Piedmont needs no introduction. The estate was founded in 1859 and is currently led by fourth generation winemaker Angelo Gaja. After joining the winery in 1961 he has been a driving force behind many of the estates changes and innovations. Always motivated by the pursuit of quality one key innovation was the decision to bottle his Sori San Lorenzo holding seprately for the first time in 1967, closely followed by Sori Tildin in 1970 and finally Costa Russi in 1978.
