Darmagi 2004 Gaja

Darmagi Langhe Cabernet Sauvignon is a great red wine produced by Gaja in Barbaresco – in the Langhe – and obtained from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested manually. Gaja’s “Darmagi” is an elegant and complex Cabernet Sauvignon, characterized by a deep, dark red color. The name, which in dialect means “what a shame”, derives from Giovanni Gaja’s exclamation in 1978, when his son Angelo decided to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in a vineyard traditionally destined for Nebbiolo. The wine has a rich aromatic spectrum, with notes of berries, cherry jam, dried flowers, tobacco, spices and balsamic accents. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, with soft and well-balanced tannins. It ages 8 months in barrique and 12 in large oak barrels.

> Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were planted in 1978 by Angelo Gaja in a vineyard intended for Nebbiolo, which made Giovanni Gaja, his father, exclaim WHAT A SIN. After a substantial maceration, the grapes first go into barriques for 8 months and are subsequently moved to large barrels for another 12 months. The wine then rests in the bottle for at least a year before being put on the market

Barbaresco, Langhe

The **Gaja** winery is a world-famous name, a symbol of the wine excellence of the Langhe. Founded in 1859 in Barbaresco, it achieved success thanks to **Angelo Gaja**, who focused on the quality of Piedmontese wines through meticulous management of the vineyards and lowering yields to intensify aromas and flavors. Gaja has introduced innovations in winemaking, combining traditional and modern techniques, such as the use of barriques alongside large barrels.

In the 90s, Angelo expanded his business by acquiring properties in Bolgheri (Ca’ Marcanda), Montalcino and recently on Etna (Idda), always looking for the best terroirs.
