Description
 
The Gaja family settled in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy in the mid-seventeenth century. Four generations of Gajas have been producing wines in Piedmont’s Langhe hills since 1859, the year Giovanni Gaja, a local grape grower, founded the Gaja Winery in Barbaresco. Giovanni’s son, Angelo (grandfather of today’s Angelo Gaja), was blessed with ambition and vision. Clotilde Rey, whom he married in 1905, inspired him to establish the tradition to which the Gajas have adhered ever since – total dedication to uncompromising quality.

This celebrated Chardonnay sees 80% malolactic fermentation and ages in oak for 20 months. The Gaja 2020 Langhe Gaia & Rey is beautifully generous and round. There wasn't enough acidity to do malos in 2017, 2018 and 2019, so those wines are drying to the palate and less generous overall. However, this vintage brings us back to a more opulent and creamy expression of the grape. The wine is redolent of tropical fruits, apricot, beeswax and crushed mineral. It shows good structure (but not as firm as 2016), and it also has a gentle side. Wine Advocate 95 (2020)
