This Cabernet blend belies its name Darmagi, which means “what a pity” in the Piemontese dialect. Intense, dark red, and textured as silk brocade, the ’04 Darmagi is opulent, velvety and full. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon touched with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Darmagi has concentrated cassis and berries that appear on the nose and palate, and it’s a complexity and richness found in the marriage of Piemonte’s terroir, International grapes, and the artistry of Angelo Gaja. Powerful, lingering and beautiful, just as a Gaja wine should be.
- Country: Italy
- Region: Piemonte
- Subregion: Langhe Rosso
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.
