Gaja is Piedmont's most famous name, a five-generation family house in Barbaresco founded in 1859 and transformed by Angelo Gaja into a global icon of Italian fine wine. Its single-vineyard Barbarescos and Barolos — Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, Costa Russi, Sperss — command collector reverence, and the family's estates now extend to Brunello and Bolgheri in Tuscany.
