Barbaresco, Langhe

The **Gaja** winery is a world-famous name, a symbol of the wine excellence of the Langhe. Founded in 1859 in Barbaresco, it achieved success thanks to **Angelo Gaja**, who focused on the quality of Piedmontese wines through meticulous management of the vineyards and lowering yields to intensify aromas and flavors. Gaja has introduced innovations in winemaking, combining traditional and modern techniques, such as the use of barriques alongside large barrels.

In the 90s, Angelo expanded his business by acquiring properties in Bolgheri (Ca’ Marcanda), Montalcino and recently on Etna (Idda), always looking for the best terroirs.
