what a shame...! (or even worse). Darmagi expresses more or less these emotions in Italian. Giovani Gaja reacted with these words to the news that his descendant plans to plant cabernet sauvignon in the holy land of nebbiolo. However, the history of changes, the struggle of generations and ideas in Piedmont is material for an interesting book, and here we must focus on one specific label. Therefore, Darmagi 2015 is 95% cabernet sauvignon, 3% merlot and the rest cabernet franc. It smells a bit like Medoc, with black currant, bay leaf and warm earth. Well-built, juicy, shiny and with great potential for ripening. It will open right before the best Barbaresco. Bought from an official seller, kept in the cellar in appropriate conditions.
