Gaja
Gaja is a family wine estate in Barbaresco, in Piedmont, founded by Giovanni Gaja in 1859 and still run by the family five generations on. Angelo Gaja's era made the house a reference point for modern Piedmont. Nebbiolo leads the range, through Barbaresco DOCG, Barolo DOCG and Langhe DOC wines. Barbera and Merlot play supporting roles in Langhe blends such as Sito Moresco. Its vines, about 135 football pitches of them, spread across Barbaresco, Treiso, Serralunga d'Alba and La Morra. Visits are by appointment only.

About Gaja
Giovanni Gaja founded the estate in 1859, and the family has now run it for five generations. Home is Via Torino in the village of Barbaresco. The house's name is tied to the Langhe and, above all, to Nebbiolo.
Angelo Gaja's era made the house one of the reference points for modern Piedmont. He pushed stricter selection in the vineyards and controlled work in the cellar. He was also willing to challenge local convention.
Hatch Mansfield records 96 hectares of vines across the Barbaresco and Barolo districts. That is about 135 football pitches. The plots sit in Barbaresco, Treiso, Serralunga d'Alba and La Morra.
The house also makes three single-vineyard Barbarescos: Costa Russi, Sori Tildin and Sori San Lorenzo. As Decanter reported, these wines returned to the Barbaresco appellation from the 2013 vintage.
The Gaja family also works in Tuscany and Sicily. Ca Marcanda, its estate in Bolgheri, has its own page on this site. The Langhe wines listed here are Gaja Barbaresco, Barolo Sperss, Sito Moresco and Sori Tildin, each linking to UK shop listings where available.
Visits run by reservation. The Enoteca Regionale del Barbaresco lists cellar visits and tastings by reservation, and Hatch Mansfield marks visits as by appointment only. There is no public online booking page.
