Gaja Barolo Dagromis 2020
From the iconic Gaja estate in Barbaresco, Piedmont, the Barolo Dagromis 2020 is a distinguished red showcasing Nebbiolo’s power. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from La Morra and Serralunga d’Alba vineyards on clay-calcareous soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 12 months in barriques and 18 months in large oak casks, it offers a ruby hue and refined complexity.
Winemaking Process
Gaja’s meticulous craftsmanship defines this wine. The 2020 vintage undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by a 20–30-day maceration to extract color and tannins. Aging for 12 months in barriques and 18 months in large oak casks balances fruit intensity with structure, creating a Barolo with firm tannins and long aging potential.
Tasting Notes
A refined, structured red with vibrant red fruit and spicy elegance, showcasing Barolo’s finesse.
The nose reveals red cherry, rose petal, and tar, with hints of licorice, spice, and graphite. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with firm tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of red fruit, anise, and a long, mineral finish.
