Gaja Barolo Dagromis

The vineyards used for this wine were acquired by GAJA in 1995 from a family named Gromis, hence the name, DaGromis, meaning literally, at home with the Gromis family. DaGromis is produced with Nebbiolo grapes grown in two old vineyards, one in Serralunga adjacent to the Sperss vineyard and the other in La Morra adjacent to the Conteisa vineyard. The soil of both vineyards is primarily calcareous clay and marl; altitudes range from 985 to 1475 feet above sea level; exposures are south-east and south-west. In the same spirit of its name, which pays homage to the family who farmed this land before its purchase, DaGromis is a classic expression of the Barolo appellation, with the softer red berry fruit notes elegantly rendered by the Tortonian-era soils of the cru.
