Gaja is a family-owned winery based in Barbaresco, Piedmont, producing estate wines across multiple Italian appellations including Piedmont and Tuscany. Founded in 1859, the estate became internationally synonymous with Angelo Gaja's decision to introduce Bordeaux varieties and single-vineyard bottlings to Nebbiolo country. Barbaresco remains the house flagship, with Dagromis Barolo representing the estate's presence in the adjacent Barolo appellation. In Tuscany, Pieve Santa Restituta produces the Brunello di Montalcino, while Ca'Marcanda contributes the Bordeaux-blend Magari. Sito Moresco Langhe offers an accessible entry point built on Nebbiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, while white wine production includes the Sauvignon Blanc-driven Alteni di Brassica and the Chardonnay-based Rossj Bass, both fermented and aged in barrel.
