義大利Gaja酒廠由Giovanni Gaja先生創立於1859年,自創立至今已承傳到第四代,由Giovanni Gaja的曾孫Angelo Gaja先生經營管理,而Gaja家族也持續為了釀造出高品質的葡萄酒而努力。 

Angelo Gaja從1960年代開始把自家的葡萄園大幅度減產以提高品質;1970年代開始將他的酒儲存於小型橡木桶中陳年;他從法國直接採購橡木,然後在Barbaresco陳放成熟,再由當地桶匠製成符合他需求的酒桶;他也是Piedmont最早引進溫控的不銹鋼槽發酵設備的先鋒;他率先在Piedmont種植法國的著名葡萄品種;此外他還堅持進行兩個星期的乳酸發酵。這些做法在Piedmont都是創舉。Barolo和Barbaresco的革新風潮的盛行主要是在1980年代開始的,也就是說Angelo Gaja的做法領先了當地的同業大約20年,可說是義大利葡萄酒業先驅的傳奇人物。


Wine Spectator雜誌曾評論說他"no producer anywhere in the last 50 years has made such an impact on the international wine scene"。如今他的葡萄酒是全義大利售價最昂貴的,市場上的售價已經可以匹敵波爾多五大酒莊的產品;如果單以產品售價來論,Gaja的產品已經是義大利葡萄酒界的天王!2011年10月份 Wine Spectator雜誌再度以他為封面人物做了專題報導,這種尊崇的地位絕對是世界級的水準。

Gaja家就位在Barbaresco,擁有Barbaresco產區裡14個區塊的葡萄園,除了出品三款單一葡萄園酒款之外,也將各個區塊的葡萄混合釀製一款Barbaresco紅酒,這是Gaja家族百年來的招牌產品。

The Gaja 2017 Barbaresco is nuanced and delicate with ever-expanding aromatic intensity that amply fills the balloon of your glass. The wine takes a little while to open fully, and it slowly releases forest berry, powdered licorice, toasted aniseed, spearmint, dried lavender and rosemary essence to build a lasting bouquet. The mouthfeel is streamlined and almost steely, with an extremely linear approach that adds to its length and persistency. The tannins are tucked into the wine's delicate fiber, but you do feel the extra textural firmness of the hot vintage nonetheless. As we have seen in past vintages, more definition is added by a pretty mineral note that is a common thread in these wines from Gaja. Production is 38,000 bottles.
