Product details
The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Ever since, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo’s direction, the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to world-class esteem.
Today, Angelo Gaja, alongside Guido Rivella, his winemaker since 1970, and his daughter, Gaia, advance their legacy. To fully realise their vision, all Gaja wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres in Piedmont’s Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is from these storied vineyards, and the earth, weather and vines upon them, that Gaja wines reveal their true heart.
The Gaja Conteisa Langhe 2000 is a stunning single-vineyard expression from the famed Cerequio cru in La Morra, one of Barolo’s most prestigious sites. Produced primarily from Nebbiolo with a touch of Barbera, it showcases the artistry of Angelo Gaja, who redefined Piedmontese winemaking by merging traditional power with modern finesse. This 2000 vintage embodies the grace and strength that have made Gaja’s wines synonymous with excellence and longevity.
For Collectors: A benchmark Gaja vintage, the Conteisa 2000 stands as a timeless expression of the Cerequio vineyard — elegant, structured, and cellar-worthy for decades.
