Barolo Dagromis

It pairs perfectly with pasta with meat sauce, soups, grilled meat and aged cheese.

The vineyards used for this wine were acquired by Gaja in 1995 from a family named Gromis, hence the name, DaGromis, meaning literally, 'at home with the Gromis family'. DaGromis is produced with Nebbiolo grapes grown in two old vineyards, one in Serralunga, adjacent to the Sperss vineyard, and the other in La Morra, adjacent to the Conteisa vineyard. The soil of both vineyards is primarily calcareous clay and marl; altitudes range from 985 to 1475 feet above sea level; exposures are south-east and south-west. In the same spirit of its name, which pays homage to the family who farmed this land before its purchase.

The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859 he founded the Gaja Winery producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Ever since the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand notably that of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo's direction the the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to world-class esteem.
