About this Gift Basket:
Perhaps the most influential individual
in Italian wines over the last 30 years has been Angelo
Gaja. In a relentless pursuit to show-off the best of Italy's
cellars, Angelo has canvassed the globe. His exhaustive,
door-to-door campaign has been a raging success. The world
now knows the greatness of Barbaresco and Barolo, especially
those bottles with his simple, black-and-white label. The
Gaja name emblazoned in bold capital letters across the
front embodies world-class quality.
Gaja’s primary 250-acre estate is located in the Barbaresco
and Barolo districts of Piedmont. In 1994 Gaja purchased
its first wine estate in Tuscany, Pieve Santa Restituta,
of which 40-acres are planted with Sangiovese and produce
two Brunello di Montalcino wines. In 1996 Gaja acquired
a second Tuscan property called Ca’Marcanda located
in Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri. The focus at Ca’Marcanda
is on international grape varieties, and the estate’s
150-acres are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet
Franc and Syrah vines. Strikingly profound and fit to live
for decades, Gaja's wines display opulence and elegance.
