Gaja
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.
Description
The nose of the Darmagi 2013 opens with neat and powerful aromas of violet and licorice. It evolves then into a spiced bouquet of juniper, charcoal and a dominant note of perfectly ripen blackberry. In the beginning the palate is juicy and sweet, leading to a gentle and long finish with a peculiar mineral almost salty character.
Food Pairing
Steaks and grilled Red Meats, Wild Game, Roasted Pork, Prime Rib.
