About the Producer:
Perhaps the most
influential individual in Italian wines over the last 30 years has
been Angelo Gaja. In a relentless pursuit to show-off the best of
Italy's cellars, Angelo has canvassed the globe. His exhaustive, door-to-door
campaign has been a raging success. The world now knows the greatness
of Barbaresco and Barolo, especially those bottles with his simple,
black-and-white label. The Gaja name emblazoned in bold capital letters
across the front embodies world-class quality.
Gaja’s primary 250-acre estate is located in the Barbaresco
and Barolo districts of Piedmont. In 1994 Gaja purchased its first
wine estate in Tuscany, Pieve Santa Restituta, of which 40-acres are
planted with Sangiovese and produce two Brunello di Montalcino wines.
In 1996 Gaja acquired a second Tuscan property called Ca’Marcanda
located in Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri. The focus at Ca’Marcanda
is on international grape varieties, and the estate’s 150-acres
are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah
vines
Strikingly profound and fit to live for decades, Gaja's wines display
opulence and elegance. When collectors consider Italian wines for
their cellar, Gaja is one of the first names they purchase. His wines
(along with those of his father and grandfather) have a long-established
track record, insuring that the wines will perform well when opened,
as well as on the auction block.
Angelo has never been shy about breaking paradigms. He has moved far
beyond the noble Nebbiolo, introducing Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay
and Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings to his Piemontese line. Determined
to stay at the forefront of the dynamic Italian wine scene he also
owns the Pieve Santa Restituta winery in Montalcino producing the
highly acclaimed Rennina and Sugarille Brunellos, as well as, the
Super Tuscan estate in the Maremma district Ca' Marcanda.
