Even though “Darmagi” means what a pity in the Piemontese dialect, this Langhe DOC is far from a pity with its dark fruits and concentrated nose and complex layers of tannins. A fantastic representation of the Piemonte terroir, this blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon touched with Merlot and Cabernet Franc gives a powerful cassis nose and palate, but it’s nonetheless a nuanced wine with a body that’ll caress your tongue as it builds into a crescendo of a finish.
- Country: Italy
- Region: Piemonte

While rooted in the tradition of the Langhe, Angelo Gaja recognizes the Nebbiolo grape’s inherent flexibility that allows it to bend to the market’s desire for both oak-driven and tannic styles. Gaja has enriched this foundation with an open-minded sensibility that marries traditional practices and technological innovation, thereby extending Piemonte’s international reach. Gaja’s wines are among the world’s most acclaimed and sought-after bottlings. Gaja’s wines appreciate, trading at premium prices and invariably elevating the price standard in Piemonte, where Gaja’s primary 250-acre estate is located in the Barbaresco and Barolo districts. Striking, profound and age-worthy, Gaja's wines display opulence and elegance. When collectors consider Italian wines for their cellar, Gaja is one of the first names they purchase, and for good reason. Gaja is the gold standard.
