The history of the House of Gancia goes back a long way: Carlo Gancia was in fact born in 1829.
Constantly alongside his father in the day to day management of the cellar and, at the same time, drawn and fascinated by the ability with which his father and teacher transformed the bunches and berries into wine, as the years went by this activity grew to become an authentic passion.
Carlo formulated a new recipe for refining the taste and fragrance of a then fashionable liqueur wine: vermouth.  He then moved on to Reims in France, where he was able to observe and to learn the working techniques for the production of champagne.

F.lli Gancia still successfully controls the operation started in 1850 by Carlo Gancia, the inventor of Italian sparkling wine and in the year 2000 celebrated its 150 years of activity with the firm belief that its success will continue in the future thanks to a good balance of innovation and tradition. Three members of the fifth generation of the Gancia Family have brought new lymph to this historical sparkling wine producer: Edoardo, Lambertoand Massimiliano Vallarino Gancia. Having recently taken over the helm of the company, they have brought an innovative new style of Company management with them and are preparing to relaunch of the family company with style.
