Gancia Pinot di Pinot Rose

In 1850, the Gancia family founded their winery surrounded by beautiful vineyards in Canelli, Piedmont. It was there that Carlo Gancia produced the first Italian sparkling wine, applying the techniques he had learned in Champagne, France. By 1870, Gancia sparkling wine was well-established and became an official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy. A distinctive feature of the winery is the cellars--also called Underground Cathedrals for their incredibly beautiful architecture. Dug out of tufo soil, they maintain the cool steady temperatures perfect for making and storing wine. 

It is said of Gancia, "Born in Italy, before Italy." The House of Gancia has existed before the country of Italy was formed and has grown over the past 170 years to become one of the most well-known and respected brands in Italy. Gancia sparkling wines are such a common part of family celebrations in Italy that the brand has come to symbolize the beauty and tradition of the Italian family. 

Today, Gancia creates exceptional sparkling wines, vermouths, and liqueurs. Gancia is respected worldwide, having won multiple awards in Italy and beyond for their exceptional products.
