Gaja Darmagi 2016 Magnum – A Masterpiece from Langhe

The Gaja Darmagi 2016 Magnum is a rare and exceptional wine that exemplifies the pioneering spirit of Angelo Gaja, one of Italy's most renowned winemakers. When Gaja first introduced Cabernet Sauvignon to the Langhe region, the world of Italian winemaking was forever changed. The 2016 vintage of Darmagi is a prime example of his bold vision and dedication to quality, offering wine lovers a complex and elegant experience in every sip.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a concentrated beauty with a bouquet that unfolds over time, revealing layers of deep, nuanced aromas. At first, expect vibrant cassis and quince, which slowly give way to more intricate notes of tamarind, accompanied by a delicate hint of fresh tomato leaf. The finish is fresh and vegetal, adding depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, Gaja Darmagi 2016 Magnum is both velvety and juicy, with rich notes of black currant and ripe plum. These flavours seamlessly transition into a spicy finish, where black pepper and cloves add an intriguing touch of heat. Despite its fruit-forward character and fleshy texture, this wine retains an impeccable level of elegance, making it perfect for collectors or those looking to indulge in a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Italy’s finest estates.
