150+ years ago Giovanni Gaja opened small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement his food. 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery. Winery has been shaped by that of Angelo Gaja. Pale lemon color, Chardonnay aged for 8 months in oak, aromas of rich stone and tropical fruits with notes of honeysuckle. Palate shows crisp pear, apple and peach flavors with vanilla and a citrus tang. Long finish, bright acidity ending with fruit, oak and mineral notes. Needs cellaring to bring it together. Pricey, but Nice!

For me this is truly a disappointing wine, not much in it except acidity, total lack of complexity and finesse. An expensive uninteresting Chardonnay, way too commercial.
