20 December - Gaia Gaja

Piedmont Langhe - GAJA

In 1994, the Gaja family acquired the Pieve Santa Restituta vineyard in Montalcino and in 1996 a second plot in Bolgheri, Tuscany, where they founded the Ca'Marcanda winery. Viticulture is a family tradition through which the dreams and plans of one generation come true and come alive and perfect for the generations to come. Angelo Gaja, his wife Lucia and his daughters Gaia and Rossana, who have been managing the winery since 2004 and 2009, respectively, now belong to the fifth generation.
