🍷 Gaja – Darmagi
Italy | Piemonte | Red Wine
Grapes: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Style: Iconic | Bold | Complex

🇮🇹 Angelo Gaja’s bold declaration of love for Cabernet Sauvignon in Barolo country — “Darmagi” meaning “what a pity” in Piedmontese, reflects the local sentiment on planting an international variety. A true benchmark wine.

👁️ In the Glass:
Opaque ruby with deep garnet highlights, suggesting power and maturity.

👃 On the Nose:
Dark and focused fruit—blackcurrant and plum—entwined with classic notes of tar, liquorice, graphite, and a delicate whiff of truffle. Refined oak and tobacco enrich the aromatic depth.

🍷 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and commanding, with ripe, muscular tannins and a dense core of dark fruit. Despite its richness, the texture is polished and seamless, unfolding into layers of spice, earth, and cedar. The low acidity enhances the plush mouthfeel and amplifies the enduring finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
A natural match for aged ribeye, venison, or braised short ribs. Also superb with truffle risotto or a rich mushroom ragù.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Built to age gracefully over 15–20+ years, gaining complexity and elegance with time.

💎 Why You’ll Love It:
Darmagi is a singular expression of Cabernet Sauvignon through Gaja’s visionary lens—powerful, luxurious, and deeply expressive of place and ambition. A must for collectors and lovers of bold, age-worthy reds.
