The Gaja winery was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja, the Gaja family having arrived from Spain during the 17th century. The family Gaja opened a tavern in Barbaresco, serving its wines with the food. At the end of the 19th century, Gaja wines were bottled and supplied to the Italian army in Abyssinia.

In 1937, Giovanni Gaja, grandson of the founder, first put the name Gaja in big red letters on his bottles' labels. The firm progressed following World War II as Giovanni Gaja made a significant series of vineyard purchases in terms of scale and vineyard quality. Also cited as an important influence to the firm's early success is the mother of Giovanni Gaja, Clotilda Rey, who instilled the principles of working to achieve high quality to attract the desired clientele, and set high prices to manifest the prestige of the product.

Roberto Voerzio was born in 1960 in La Morra, Piedmont. He began his career in the wine world working alongside his father in the family vineyards. From the outset, Roberto Voerzio adopted a very meticulous and passionate approach to viticulture, seeking to produce wines of the highest possible quality. In the 1980s, Roberto Voerzio decided to set up his own estate in order to put his innovative ideas and techniques into practice. He acquired vineyard plots in La Morra and Barolo, two areas renowned for producing top-quality wines in Piedmont. One of the distinguishing features of the Roberto Voerzio estate is its relatively small size. Roberto has chosen to deliberately limit his production in order to concentrate on quality rather than quantity. He cultivates his vines using biodynamic methods, respecting natural cycles and avoiding the use of chemicals.

The wines produced by the Roberto Voerzio estate are mainly made from Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, the emblematic varieties of Piedmont. Voerzio wines are renowned for their concentration, aromatic complexity and exceptional ageing potential. They often express aromas of ripe red fruit, flowers, spices and truffles. Over the years, Roberto Voerzio's wines have gained international recognition and are much sought after by wine lovers and collectors around the world. They are produced in limited quantities and often command high prices on the market.

The Roberto Voerzio estate was managed by Roberto himself until 2008, when he decided to retire from operational management. Today, his sons Davide and Gianni continue his legacy, running the estate with the same passion and dedication.
