Gaja

Gaja – World-class Italian wine icon

Gaja is not just a wine house – it is an institution. Founded in 1859 and revolutionized by Angelo Gaja from the 1960s onwards, the house has set new standards for Italian wine and created a style that unites tradition and modernity . At dhwines.dk you will find a selection of Gaja wines from Piedmont and Tuscany , selected for their character, depth and potential.

Piedmont: Gaja's heritage and heart

Gaja's home is Barbaresco in Piedmont – where the Nebbiolo grape reigns supreme. Their Barbaresco wines are known for their complexity, tannin-rich structure and fantastic ageing potential . With precision in the field and innovation in the cellar, Gaja has given Barbaresco an international status on par with Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Gaja wines in the range

• Barbaresco DOCG: The flagship wine – intense, floral, structured and elegant. Aging potential 15–30 years.
• Sperss (Langhe Nebbiolo): From Serralunga d'Alba – darker and more powerful than Barbaresco, but with the same precision.
• Costa Russi, Sori Tildin, Sori San Lorenzo: Gaja's famous single-vineyard wines – among Italy's most sought-after bottles.
• Ca'Marcanda (Bolgheri): Bordeaux-style Super Tuscans – Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah with structure and warmth.
• Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino): Gaja's version of Brunello – classic, age-worthy and deeply interpretive.

Style and vinification

• Combination of modern vinification and classic elegance
• Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, then aging in barriques
• Long aging in bottle before release
• The result: depth, structure, layers upon layers of flavor – and the ability to evolve.

Food and wine – what goes well with Gaja?

Gaja's wines deserve food that matches their depth:

• Red wines (Nebbiolo): braised beef, mushrooms, truffle dishes, lamb and game
