The Gaja family has been involved in Piedmontese wine culture since the mid-1850s.



The Gaja family's audacious, design-oriented labels distinguished themselves on shelves prior to the emergence of such embellishments as a legitimate trend in the wine industry. Your comprehension would improve if you visited their winery. Gaja’s Barbaresco (accessible for visits in return for a charitable contribution) and the newly established Alta Langa winery are adorned with post-modern furnishings from renowned Italian designers such as Scarpa, Bellini, and Sottsass.



Their wines draw inspiration from both history and contemporary influences. They are exact—Barolos and Barbarescos that individuals aspire to possess. White wines that strongly advocate for alternatives to Piedmontese reds. These are their distinguishing characteristics. The Gaja family has been entrenched in Piedmontese culture since the mid-1850s, when they began travelling to France and introduced a more refined sensibility to their wines.



The 1967 Sori San Lorenzo, a single-vineyard wine, disrupted the industry, as few producers were engaging in such practices at that time. You may now savour their single vineyard wines, derived from meticulously maintained plots in the finest regions of Barbaresco and Barolo, with Sori San Lorenzo remaining captivating. Exquisite, abundant, and radiant, adorned with pressed roses, wild strawberries, and herbs, this bottle is remarkable at a distinctly premium price. $700
