Angelo Gaja: Champion of Italian Wine
March 20, 2024When Angelo Gaja made his first trip to the U.S., in 1974, there was little market for fine Italian wines. He traveled tirelessly, promoting his belief that wines from Barbaresco, the broader Piedmont and across Italy could be world-class. Gaja sat down for an exclusive interview with Wine Spectator editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken to reflect on the past 50 years and look to the future.
In this video, Shanken speaks with Gaja about his time in Northern California and his first encounters with Napa legend Robert Mondavi. Read the full interview with Gaja in the April 30, 2024, issue of Wine Spectator.
