The Gaja winery was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja in the town of Barbaresco, in the Langhe hills of Piedmont, Italy. Aging potential: While already appreciable, most critics recommend cellaring it for five years or more to reach its full potential. Recommended drinking window: 2025-2045. The family has maintained its winemaking tradition for several generations; it is currently managed by Angelo Gaja, who revolutionized the winery after joining in 1961. Under Angelo Gaja's leadership, modern practices for the time were introduced: strict vineyard selection, reduced yields, the use of new French oak barrels, and careful aging, all with the aim of elevating the quality and international reputation of Piedmont wines. Always in a private cellar with controlled temperature. IMPORTANT !! Shipping is NOT made to the following countries. SWITZERLAND-NORWAY-FINLAND-RUSSIA AND OTHERS-MALTA-CANARY ISLANDS-MADEIRA.
