"Darmagi" is Piedmontese for "what a pity," a comment Angelo Gaja's father, Giovanni, once uttered when he passed the vineyards as it was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in 1978. - Ain't no pity here! This fire water is 100% Cab and has delicate floral and spice aromas. A grappa of great complexity, for nights when you want to unwind 😬 #gaja #darmagi #grappa — 10 years ago
Really loved this Grappa. Gaia signed it for me at a Mozza wine dinner in 2010. — 12 years ago
Elegant, refined Bolgheri Bordeaux blend. Well balanced, lithe, with strong minerality. A sophisticated wine. — 10 years ago
Big, in-your-face Italian answer to New World cab. Gaja Darmaji if it were made in New Jersey? Fuhgettaboutit. Softened with some air but tannins slap you around a bit. — 10 years ago
Gaja barrel cask strength. Beautiful integration of terroir and wood. Well worth the price tag — 11 years ago

1996 Soldera Riserva Brunello. Drank at dinner at Il Pistaiao w K, McC, and Judy. Awesome. K loves this wine. To me, it's a bit acidic and tart, but he preferred this to the Gaja, which followed. — 11 years ago

Bricked out color. Dried cherries, very dark chocolate powder, dried sage and thyme, and Fennel. Beautiful texture. Happy birthday Megan! — 10 years ago
