The Gaja plants are exemplary in their seductive brilliance and stylistic perfection. His wines have remained at the top to this day and this all started in 1961, when his father entrusted him with the vineyards. He implemented new ideas and put the greatest emphasis on the best grape varieties and a high-quality processing. Founded in 1859, Angelo Gaja is one of Italy's best-known estates with a worldwide flair. It was one of the first wineries to bottle its wines instead of the usual barrels. |
