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. The exponent of the third generation Giovanni Gaja was the son of Clotilde and Angelo Gaja, who died in 2002. Angelo Gaja, the current owner, joined the company in 1961 and made his own choices that were already his father and grandfather.

Production technique | The distillation of the marc, dripping with wine, takes place in a state-of-the-art plant in order to preserve all the varietal aromas and fragrances intact. The still used is discontinuous, made of steel, and inside it the marc is passed through a jet of steam, which carries the alcohol vapours with it. These are subsequently drawn into the distillation column, producing a distillate that originally has an alcohol content of 70 - 75 °C. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) |
