Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Cabernet Sauvignon DOP Langhe - Darmagi - Gaja

More questions

Darmagi is a single vineyard, the first post-prephylloxera Cabernet planted in Piedmont, whose name derives from the Piedmontese dialect and means "what a shame"; this word was pronounced by Giovanni Gaja when he realized that he had inadvertently planted Cabernet Sauvignon instead of Nebbiolo. The grapes are fermented and macerated for about 3 weeks and then aged in wood for 24 months.

On the nose it shows a varied and well-defined bouquet with floral hints of violet and spicy notes of paprika, cassis fruit and licorice. In the glass it pours with an intense and dark ruby ​​red color; a sip of notable structure, refined and complex at the same time, and characterized by a fine tannic texture. 

Excellent wine to be savored in combination with first courses with tasty sauces, mature cheeses, game, roasts, grilled and stewed meat. A drink for true connoisseurs and enthusiasts of oenological excellence.

The story
The Gaja family has been present in the Langhe since the second half of the 19th century; the estate, established in the community of Barbaresco, became internationally renowned thanks to its modernization choices and the bottling of wines from individual vineyards. In the 1960s and 1970s Angelo Gaja introduced single-vineyard labels and experimented with techniques and grape varieties new to the area. Over time the estate has expanded beyond the heart of the Langhe with investments and holdings in other Italian regions.
Production philosophy
Pursuit of quality through the enhancement of individual crus, direct management of the grapes, technical improvements in the vineyard and winery, and a focus on balancing tradition and experimentation.
