Gaja's supremacy and cachet are not solely attributable to the family's Barbaresco. The Gaja name represents a legacy of quality that has evolved since the family immigrated from Spain over 300 years ago. The famed Rossj-Bass is produced from Chardonnay grapes grown in estate-owned Rossj vineyard, named for Angelo Gaja's younger daughter Rossana (Rossj). Bass is Piedmontese for the Italian basso, meaning low, a name derived from the vineyard's position. Pheasants are featured on Rossj-Bass' label to commemorate the beautiful birds that inhabit the forests adjacent to Gaja's vineyards.
