In 1961, when Angelo Gaja joined his father Giovanni at the family winery, Italian wine was widely regarded as affordable and enjoyable, but not fine wine. Angelo was 21 years old at the time, and has since spent six decades repositioning the Gaja name to what it widely known as today: a highly regarded and astutely run multi-winery and distribution empire with four estates in three different regions of Italy. Gaia, Rossana and Giovanni are the fifth generation of the Gaja family. Together with their parents, Angelo and Lucia, they continue a family tradition that has endured since 1859.
