WINERY Located in Piedmont in northwestern Italy, the GAJA winery is widely considered to be one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible labels. The story of the GAJA Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflects the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. GAJA is a pioneer and guardian of tradition, a legacy that continues to reshape the standard for excellence in the world of winemaking today. Angelo Gaja was the first to produce single vineyard wines in Piedmont and revolutionized wine making practices in the region, introducing Bordeaux varietals and the use of barriques. GAJA has led Barbaresco to international acclaim and brought about a resurgence of Italian wines more broadly. Today, the GAJA Winery owns 240 acres of vineyards in the Barbaresco DOCG (Barbaresco and Treiso) and the Barolo DOCG (Serralunga d’Alba and La Morra).

In this vintage, unusual, frequent rain led to higher than average rainfall. Most of it fell in the summer rather than winter and spring. Despite summer storms, our vineyards weren’t hail-damaged. The mild winter, notably warm January, and late cold snap in March didn’t cause frost damage. Heat spikes in late May, August, and mid-September, interspersed with thunderstorms and cooler days, aided grape maturation. Significant temperature variations in late September and October improved the color, aromas, and overall health of the grapes.

Each vineyard separately undergoes fermentation, maceration, and ageing in oak for 12 months. They are then blended and further aged in oak for another 18 months.

On the nose, floral notes are dominant, the wine is ethereal and restrained, promising a subtle yet intriguing bouquet. On the palate Dagromis shows medium structure and sweet tannins with good freshness and a long and salty finish.
