]]> Gaja is an Italian wine producer from the Piemonte region in the district of Langhe, chiefly producing a number of Barbaresco and Barolo wines, and later diversified into Brunello and "Super-Tuscan" production. Its current owner and president Angelo Gaja is credited with developing techniques that have revolutionised winemaking in Italy, and terms such as "the undisputed king of Barbaresco", and "the man who dragged Piedmont into the modern world" have been applied to him, and whose Barbaresco wine is considered a status symbol on a par with Château Lafite-Rothschild or Krug.

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.

]]> The origins of the estate go back to the middle of the 19th century, but it is Amédée Merme who is going to enlarge and structure the vineyard at the beginning of the 20th century. Accompanied by his son Armand, they sought to ensure the reputation of the estate in France and beyond by producing quality wines. In the 1970s, Marie France Merme continued the work of her father Armand with her husband Henri Perrot-Minot. After Armand's death, Marie-France and Henri took over the reins of the estate, which was renamed Perrot-Minot. Together, they perpetuated the tradition of quality and innovation that had already prevailed in the previous two generations.

In 1993, their son Christophe Perrot-Minot joined the domain and took over the management, after having worked as a wine broker for seven years. His previous experiences have given him a deep and broad knowledge of the winegrowing profession.

]]> Winemakers in the northern Rhône since 1481, the Chave family represents 16 generations of uninterrupted lineage committed to producing some of the world's finest Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne. Jean Louis joined his father in 1992. It was then that he completely replanted vineyards on the original family estate in St Joseph, which had been abandoned in the early 1900s when phylloxera struck the region. Chave toils tediously in the vineyards, painstakingly rebuilding terraces on the incredibly steep slopes of the Northern Rhône. The difficult terrain demands machine-free farming and all work is organic. The wines are vinified using indigenous yeasts and aged in a mixture of barrels and casks, depending on the wine.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave's wines are among the most sought-after in the region and the Hermitage is one of the best wines in the world. Few wines offer as much pleasure and complexity.

]]> Giacomo Conterno Giacomo Conterno is one of the most important names on the Piedmontese wine scene: the company is now recognised worldwide for its history and for the production of two oenological monuments such as Barolo Riserva Monfortino and Barolo Cascina Francia.

Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a red wine from the lands of Piedmont and in particular from Monforte d'Alba. It has been awarded for several years of production as a wine of excellence and several times with 100 points from Robert Parker. It is made only in exceptional vintages, the careful selection of the grapes and the treatment that each bunch of Nebbiolo receives makes it a fine and expensive wine.
