Gaja is a world famous winery located in Piedmont, in the north-western part of Italy. Founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja in the small town of Barbaresco, the estate started with just 2 hectares of vineyards, planted in the hills near Barbaresco. Each generation has expanded the estate. However Angelo Gaja (fifth generation), who became the owner in 1970 (but had already started working in the vineyards since 1961) achieved the most recent success.
