Situated in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, GAJA has been renowned as one of the world's finest estates, crafting highly sought-after and collectible wines since its establishment in 1859. GAJA is a pioneer and guardian of tradition, a legacy that continues to reshape the standard for excellence in the world of winemaking today. Angelo Gaja was the first to produce single vineyard wines in Piedmont and revolutionized wine making practices in the region, introducing Bordeaux varietals and the use of barriques. GAJA has led Barbaresco to international acclaim and brought about a resurgence of Italian wines more broadly.

Today, the GAJA winery owns 240 acres of vineyards in the Barbaresco DOCG and the Barolo DOCG. The 14 Barbaresco vineyards are situated in the municipality of Barbaresco and Treiso, and the vines are located at elevations between 820 ft and 1,080 ft above sea level. GAJA combines traditional Piedmontese winemaking techniques with modern innovations. This includes meticulous vineyard management, careful fermentation processes, and aging in both barriques and larger casks. These methods reinforce GAJA’s founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place that reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it.
