Gaja

 

Meet Italian legend Angelo Gaja and experience his groundbreaking ultra-premium wines.

“Angelo takes pride in small production wines, the products of craftsmen … Gaja has, relatively recently, expanded into Tuscany, a somewhat startling move for one of Piemonte’s old and legendary wineries. Nonetheless, his operations there remain small and individualistic.”
-Mark Squires, www.erobertparker.com, May 2007

 

Wine writer and Wine Spectator columnist Matt Kramer calls Angelo Gaja the “undisputed King of Piedmontese winemaking, as well as Italy’s premier modernist” (Making Sense of Italian Wine, 2006). Here is your opportunity to meet the man who revolutionized winemaking in Piedmont and sent shockwaves across all of Italy.

 

Taste a selection of Gaja’s outstanding wines, and hear personal commentary by the King himself at this extraordinary VINTAGES event.
