He was 88.<br \/>\n&#8220;Bruno Giacosa knew the vineyards in minute detail: every sor\u00ec, every winding path, every ridge, every headland,&#8221; said Angelo Gaja, whose winery lies just up the road in Barbaresco, in a 2013 interview. &#8220;He had tasted the grapes everywhere.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.winespectator.com\/articles\/barbaresco-winemaker-bruno-giacosa-dies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a>&#8220;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;Super-Tuscan&#8221; production.
