Angelo Gaja is the largest private owner of vineyards in the Barbaresco area. With a degree in enology, he is one of the founders of the new wave Barbaresco winemakers. In fact, he was the first to age Nebbiolo wine in small French oak, something that old-style winemakers thought of as a sin. Gaja wines today are the most sought after; we are lucky to be able to offer a great selection of a few of his wines. Enjoy!

I have had the honor of traveling to Italy with Gianfranco D’Aniello and being the guest of Leonardo Locascio at VinItaly for the last couple of years and through that experience have had the pleasure of meeting the Allegrini family. They have played an important role in the history of Valpolicella ever since the 16th century. As of 2002, they have received 18 Tre Bicchieri, making them one of the top producers not only in the Veneto region but in all of Italy as well.
