Gaja Dagromis di Gaja Barolo 2018

A Barolo that shows the winemaker's signature and the terroir of La Morra

The Barolo Dagromis by Angelo Gaja comes from the exceptional vineyards Cerequio (from where the great Conteisa also comes) and Silio in the municipality of La Morra. A very classic Barolo, which despite its powerful and muscular structure, has a wonderful elegance. Very dense ruby red in the glass, intense aromas of black berries and blooming lilac bush on the nose, with a fine herbal spice. Powerful on the palate, yet smooth and soft, with an almost endless finish.

Angelo Gaja is certainly the most famous Italian winery owner internationally. He has been repeatedly awarded "Man of the Year" by "Decanter" and "Wine Spectator", and no other winemaker has won the "Tre Bicchieri" of the Gambero Rosso as often as he has. Without him, Piedmont, especially the Langhe, would probably have only half as much reputation today. Angelo Gaja is a happy mix of winemaker and manager. Nobody appears in public as eloquently as he does, no one else in Italy can afford to sell their wines so expensively, but no other winery shows such great consistency in top wines. Angelo Gaja, supported by his long-time cellar master Guido Rivella, is the father of the new top wines from Piedmont. He was the first to free his wines from excessive, hard tannins, making them more accessible and giving them a refined touch. Gaja's role models were the sophisticated and internationally successful wines from Bordeaux and California. However, he never wants to miss the characteristics of Piedmont in his wines. Gaja relies on terroir. As the Gambero Rosso writes so beautifully: "Gaja is and remains the greatest."
