Product Notes

Gaja IDDA Bianco is an exquisite white wine blend from the famed Gaja winery in Piedmont, Italy. Named after the ancient Sardinian symbol of life and renewal, IDDA is a unique blend of native Sardinian grape varieties, including Vermentino and Malvasia. The wine is pale yellow in color and displays aromas of citrus fruits, pear, and almond. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of lemon, lime, and mineral notes. The wine has a beautiful complexity and a long, elegant finish. Gaja IDDA Bianco is perfect for pairing with seafood dishes, salads, or light appetizers. It is a great choice for anyone who loves high-quality Italian white wines with a distinct character.

Tasting Notes

Notes of tomato leaves, sage, Cantaloupe (melon) and quince at the first sniff. Followed by intriguing hints of honey and hay, yet a note of yeast and dough raises from the glass. The entrance is voluptuous and tight, yellow plum and pineapple enrich the palate with a sleek acidity. Clean-cut and savory on the mineral-laced finish.

About the Winery

Gaja

Established in 1859, Gaja is a family-owned winery in Italy. Giovanni Gaja founded this winery, and his great-grandson, Angelo Gaja runs the estate today. The family produces grapes in the 250 acres of vineyards it owns in Italy's popular wine region, Piedmont. This estate is located exactly in the districts of Barbaresco and Barolo.

In 1994, this family-owned estate became the proud owner of the Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Tuscany's Montalcino area. This 40-acre estate in Tuscany is dedicated to growing Sangiovese varietals. In the next year, Gaja acquired its second Tuscan Wine Estate called Ca'Marcanda in Bolgheri. This significant estate stretches to 150 acres, and is dedicated to growing many international grape varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.

The current owner, Angelo, should be given a lot of credit for putting Piedmont on the global map today. He introduced many path-breaking winemaking technologies in his winery, for all the range of wines he produces – Brunello and Super-Tuscan. Though a family-owned estate, Gaja is one of the main reasons why people across the globe love Italian wines. The distribution wing of Gaja is responsible for importing wines from some premium regions like Champagne, Bordeaux, California and Chile, and improving their popularity in Italy.

The Barbaresco is the flagship wine of Gaja Wine Estate. It is made from the indigenous Nebbiolo varietals collected from over 14 Barbaresco vineyards. Some of the other popular wines from Gaja are:

Costa Russi – Made from 95% Nebbiolo and 5% Barbera, this wine is made from single-vineyard grapes.

Some of the Barolo wines of Gaja are:

Sperss – Made from 100% Nebbiolo grown in the Serralunga vineyard

Conteisa – Made from 100% Nebbiolo grown in Cerequio

A few other interesting Gaja wines include:

Darmagi – Made from 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc
