The Gaja family settled in Piedmont already in the mid-seventeenth century. Since then, 5 generations have alternated in wine production since Giovanni Gaja founded the winery in Barbaresco, in the Langhe area, in 1859. Currently, the family owns vineyards located in the Barbaresco and Barolo areas. The company's production choices have always been inspired by total dedication to quality, so much so that Gaja has become a leading brand on the Italian market.
