    Angelo's grandfather spoke of a disgrace when Angelo planted a vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon. This word (Darmagi in Italian) ultimately gave the single-varietal Cabernet its name. The result is anything but a disgrace: black fruits, espresso, grilled herbs and cassis in a rich and dense bouquet. Elegance and harmony on the palate, flavours of leather and a certain earthiness increase the complexity. The tannin already blends impressively into the composition and promises great things for the future. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Ironically named Darmagi – meaning ‘what a pity’ in the Piedmontese dialect – stemming from Giovanni Gaja's reported lament at discovering his son, Angelo had replaced Nebbiolo vines with Cabernet Sauvignon. This single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1978 on calcareous soils exemplifies the Langhe expression of the variety. Savoury aromas immediately entice with tomato leaf, shrubby herbs, blackcurrant and plush black cherry. Layer upon layer of fleshy dark fruits unfold, alongside new Italian leather, nutmeg spice and tobacco. Bearing Gaja's signature precision, this is superbly structured with remarkable vibrancy and a mineral-driven finish." Decanter

    "The Darmagi 2020 is one of the most refined editions of this wine that I can remember tasting. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2020 is full of class and elegance. The 2020 will need time to develop its aromatic and flavour complexity, but the balance is there. This is an exceptional wine in every way. " Vinous
