Established in 1859, Gaja is one of the world's great producers, and the sixth generation of the family, led by the vivacious Gaia Gaja, is currently taking over from the dynamic Angelo, who single-handedly lifted Gaja's reputation to where it is today.
Nebbiolo is the grape variety behind this top-quality red wine from Piedmont, northwestern Italy, grown in the town of Barolo. Nebbiolo wines are distinguished by their strong tannins, high acidity and distinctive scent – often described as "tar and roses". A less obvious characteristic, visible only over time, is their tendency to lose color. Most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from deep, violet-tinged ruby to a beautiful brick orange - the characteristics typical of Barolo.
GAJA's Dagromis Barolo is named after Gromis family from whome Gaja purchased two vinayards (one in Serralunga -adjacent to the Sperss and La Morra adjacent to the Conteisa) in 1995.
The grapes from each vineyard are fermented seperatly, macerated and aged for 12 months before being blended and aged for a further 18 months in oak.
