Angelo Gaja
Barolo & Barbaresco
Piedmount - Italy
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.
Sori Tildin, Sori San
Lorenzo, Costa Russi - Barbaresco:
Barbaresco is Angelo's masterpiece! With meticulous attention to detail,
he brought Barbaresco to fame by reducing crop size, shortening
fermentation periods, implementing innovative wine making techniques,
aging wines in barrique and even sourcing timber to build his own
barrels. His single vineyard Barbarescos - Sori Tildin, Sori San
Lorenzo, and Costa Russi - are virtually unrivaled in their intensity
and have achieved legendary status in the wine world.
Sperss – Barolo
The name means “nostalgia” in Italian and refers to a particular
vineyard site where the Gaja family had purchased grapes until 1961. It
was at this point the family began producing wines exclusively from
their own vineyards and a series of changes began to unfold that would
have a profound impact on Piemonte wines. Year in and year out, the
Sperss exhibits huge, classicBarolo characteristics: ripe, expansive
black cherry and strawberry fruit, truffles, earth and streaks of tar.
Each vintage displays uncommon complexity and stature in these
full-bodied, chewy, tannic bottlings. It should be noted that the 1999
Barolo Sperss received 99-points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
