Gaja Dagromis Barolo DOP 2015
Gaja Dagromis
Barolo DOP 2015
In 1995, Gaja took over the very famous winery Gromis in La Morra. Included in the deal was 10 ha. vineyards in the heart of the 25 ha. large Cerquio vineyard, which is one of the most famous in Barolo.
Barolo "Dagromis" (until 2000 called Gromis) is composed of wines made from Nebbiolo grapes harvested in two vineyards in La Morra (Cerequio and Silio), and a single plot in Serralunga, all with calcareous and clay soils.
Dagromis has a nice intense dark red colour. The bouquet exudes violets, wild roses, white pepper. In the taste you will find tones of red grapefruit, wild raspberries, lingonberries and mild spices which dominate. In the wine you will find all the virtues of Gromi's special "terroir" with plenty of character, intensity and complexity.
Vinification takes place in Gaja's wine cellar in Barbaresco, and the different parcels are vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with the grapes' own yeast. After malolactic fermentation, the wines are first matured for one year in barriques (30% new: half from Allier in France and the other half from other countries in Europe). The wines are then put together and the wine is further matured for 18 months in large wooden barrels.
Dagromis has a good structure, and finally a nice fatness. It has a very clean and charming style, and has the potential to age for around 10 years, but also tastes fantastic already. If you drink it young, it deserves an oxygenation in the decanter. Here you will experience that depth and fatness come out more in the wine.
