Gaja 2020 DaGromis Barolo

The Wine 

Expression of two great terroirs of Barolo, La Morra and Serralunga. “Gromis” was the previous owner of the land. On the nose, floral notes dominate. The wine is ethereal and restrained, promising a subtle yet intriguing bouquet. On the palate Dagromis shows medium structure and sweet tannins with good freshness and a long and salty finish.

Each vineyard undergoes individual fermentation, maceration, and ageing in oak for 12 months. They are then blended and further aged in oak for another 18 months.
