Taste

Taste

The usual taste class, defined by a substantial structure, sparkling freshness, sapid minerality to accompany soft and decidedly dissolved tannins. Perfect and invigorating references in the end of the mouth, which hardly fades. It has the elegance of the past and the glamor of the royalty of tomorrow.

The Gaja family settled in Piedmont in the mid-seventeenth century. Four generations have succeeded in producing wine since Giovanni Gaja in 1859, founded the winery in Barbaresco in the Langhe. Angelo, son of John, is the second generation. He married Clotilde Rey, who is credited traditionally credited with having imposed in the current company's production philosophy, oriented towards high-quality wine.

Angelo Gaja, the current owner, joined the company in 1961 and made his own choices that were already his father and grandfather.
