Gaja Darmagi 2013

CLIMATE & TERROIR: The Darmagi vineyard is located in the Barbaresco
area with a temperate continental climate.

VINIFICATION: The grapes are fermented in tanks at approximately 16°C.
The fermentation and maceration last about three weeks and are
followed by 24 months of maturation in wood.

GRAPES: cabernet sauvignon
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 14.00%
SMELL & TASTE: Deep red and powerful with strong cassis aromas and
soft tannins. A fantastic alternative to any
great cabernet sauvignon with great aging potential.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Excellent accompaniment to grilled or
roasted meats and mature hard cheeses.

FACT: Angelo's father Giovanni mumbled 'darmagi' (which means
sin) when he and his son were riding past one of the vineyards where
the traditional nebbiolo was replaced by foreign cabernet
sauvignon. Angelo then gave the wine the name Darmagi.
