Gaja Sitorey Babaresco Tinto

Description

Gaja Winery was founded by Giovanni Gaja, great‑great‑grandfather of Angelo Gaja, in 1859. It has remained in the family’s hands and has been operated by four generations of the Gaja family. The winery is located in the Barbaresco and Barolo districts of Piedmont. In 1994 they acquired their first Tuscan vineyard, Pieve di Santa Restituta, where 40 hectares are planted with Sangiovese and two Brunello di Montalcino wines are produced. Two years later, in 1996, Gaja purchased a second Tuscan estate called Ca’Marcanda, located in Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri. Ca’Marcanda focuses on international grape varieties, with 150 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. (illustrative image)
