Gaja Darmagi Langhe Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 750ML

Sauvignon Blanc from Langhe, Piedmont, Italy 

Notes from the Winemaker

First Cabernet Sauvignon post-phylloxera planted in Piedmont, Darmagi is a single vineyard situated in the municipality of Barbaresco. It was Giovanni Gaja, Angelo’s father, who involuntarily named this wine, because when Cabernet Sauvignon was planted instead of Nebbiolo, his first comment in Piedmontese dialect was Darmagi! (What a pity!).

Vineyard Profile

Planted in 1978, it was chosen by Angelo Gaja both as a tribute to this prestigious grape and to demonstrate the vocation of the Langa land to produce great wines also from non-traditional varieties. The vineyard, facing south, covers a surface of 2.8 hectares (6 acres avg.) and has average altitude of 280 M above the sea level.
