2020 Gaja Dagromis Barolo

The 2020 Gaja Dagromis Barolo is a beautifully refined Barolo that reflects the legendary Gaja family's mastery of Nebbiolo. Sourced from estate vineyards in the renowned communes of La Morra and Serralunga d'Alba, the fruit is vinified separately before spending 12 months in French oak, followed by a further 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks. The nose is elegant and expressive, revealing red cherry, wild berries and dried rose petals layered with liquorice, earthy spice and subtle floral notes.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive precision. Juicy red fruit is complemented by savoury herbs, mineral freshness and a long, polished finish with remarkable balance and finesse. Combining the generosity of La Morra with the structure of Serralunga, this is a classic Barolo that is approachable in its youth while offering outstanding cellaring potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2020 Gaja Dagromis Barolo is an exceptional partner for braised beef, osso buco, roast lamb, truffle pasta, wild mushroom risotto or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Enjoy now with a generous decant, or cellar confidently through 2045+.
