AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF GAJA
Angelo Gaja has been one of the main driving forces for putting Barbaresco wines firmly into the category of international cult status wines and has proved that wines from his native Piemonte, in Italy could sell for higher prices than many top-class Clarets or Burgundy. Gaja is famous for his single vineyard Nebbiolo wines, winning numerous awards for his Sori Tildin, Sori San Lorenzo, Costa Russi, and Barbaresco.
Angelo Gaja has acquired legendary status in the major wine markets of the world, emphasized by the following quote from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate “…The admirable Angelo Gaja remains fanatically committed to excellence, and because of that he is Piedmont’s reference point, as well as an inspiration to many of the young growers just beginning to estate bottle their wines.”
The family firm can trace its roots back to 1856 when they opened a small restaurant in the town of Barbaresco, serving its wines to complement the Italian food. Angelo Gaja joined the family business in 1961, and he has subsequently made many changes and improvements, none more important than only using grapes grown in his own vineyards and restricting yields, and vinifying and bottling separately his single-vineyard Barbaresco wines; Sorì San Lorenzo in 1967, Sorì Tildìn in 1970 and Costa Russi in 1978. Gaja's wines are noted for their opulence, elegance, complexity and longevity and are designed to evolve and last for decades. Any serious wine collector should ensure that their collection includes Gaja’s signature wines from north-west Italy.
Gaja also produces Barolo from the Sperss vineyards and Darmagi, Gaia and Rey, Sauvignon Alteni di Brassica, and Conteisa. Angelo Gaja acquired a number of vineyards in the late 1980s, with the purchase of the Gromis estate (in La Morra) which enabled him to add a Barolo to his wine portfolio. This was followed in 1994 by the acquisition of the Pieve Santa Restituta vineyard (in Montalcino where 40 acres are planted with Sangiovese and produce two Brunello di Montalcino wines; the highly acclaimed Rennina and Sugarille Brunellos). In 1996 Gaja bought a second Tuscan property called Ca’Marcanda (Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri). The focus at Ca’Marcanda is on international grape varieties; the estate’s 150-acres are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah vines. Today Gaja has 101 hectares of vineyards divided into 32 separate plots and produces around 30,000 cases of wine a year. Gaja produces world-class wines that sell for world-class prices.
Angelo Gaja remains most famous for his wines from the Nebbiolo grape from the village of Barbaresco, in his native Piedmont. Gaja’s name has become synonymous with excellence and the highest quality, and the reputation of Piedmont as one of the world’s finest wine producing regions has largely been a result of the efforts of Angelo Gaja.
