2016 Gaja, Dagromis - 巴罗洛 - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

Gaja 是全意大利最知名的酒庄之一。 Originating in and still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy, the Gaja name remains most strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, though the company now makes more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont.

这家企业由 Giovanni Gaja 于1859年创立，只有两公顷（五英亩）的巴巴雷斯科葡萄园。 Each generation saw expansion, although Angelo Gaja, who took over full-time in 1970, is often credited with the estate's more recent success.

每一代都有扩张，尽管1970年全职接手的安杰洛·加亚通常被认为是酒庄最近成就的功臣。 He was responsible for overseeing sweeping changes in the vineyards and cellars, and introducing the famed single-vineyard Barbaresco wines Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, and Costa Russi (now Langhe DOC wines).

他负责监督葡萄园与酒窖的全面变革，并推出著名的单一葡萄园巴巴雷斯科酒款 Sorì San Lorenzo、Sorì Tildìn 和 Costa Russi（现为 Langhe DOC 葡萄酒）。 These changes were not always well-received: famously, the name of the Darmagi Cabernet Sauvignon translates as 'what a pity', referring to Angelo's father's regret over the introduction of Bordeaux varieties.

这些变革并非总能获得好评：众所周知，Darmagi Cabernet Sauvignon 的名字翻译为“多可惜”，指的是安杰洛父亲对引入波尔多品种的遗憾。 Gaja is famous for having introduced Barbaresco wines to a wider audience and for modernizing Piedmont – introducing international grape varieties and winemaking practices more common in Bordeaux or California.

Gaja 因将巴巴雷斯科酒推向更广泛的受众、并使皮埃蒙特现代化而闻名——引入在波尔多或加州更常见的国际葡萄品种与酿酒做法。 However, traditional elements remain, such as long macerations and the use of larger oak barrels (albeit in combination with new barriques).

然而，传统元素仍在，如长时间浸渍和使用较大木桶（尽管也与新橡木桶搭配使用）。 The estate generated significant attention when it began to blend a small amount of Barbera into all but two of its Barbaresco and Barolo wines, relegating them to the Langhe DOC classification.

在酒庄开始在其大多数巴巴雷斯科和巴罗洛酒中混入少量巴贝拉葡萄酒并将其归入 Langhe DOC 分类时，获得了大量关注。 Angelo Gaja insisted this was a traditional practice to correct acidity, and at any rate, the label focused on the vineyard name, rather than the appellation.

安杰洛·加亚坚称这是纠正酸度的传统做法；无论如何，标签关注点是葡萄园名称，而非法定产区。 Gaja's move beyond Barbaresco started in 1988 with the acquisition of the Sperss vineyard in neighboring Barolo.

加亚超越巴巴雷斯科的举动始于1988年收购临近的巴罗洛的 Sperss 葡萄园。 In 1994, Gaja took over the 27 hectare (67 acre) Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Montalcino, followed by the 118 hectare (290 acre) Ca' Marcanda estate in Bolgheri. The name of this estate, acquired after protracted negotiations, translates as 'House of Haggling'.

1994年，Gaja 接管蒙塔尔奇诺的 Pieve Santa Restituta 酒庄27公顷（67英亩），随后是博尔盖里的 Ca' Marcanda 酒庄，面积为118公顷（290英亩）。这一酒庄的名字在经过长期谈判后取得，翻译为“讨价还价之屋”。 Although Angelo Gaja has never announced his retirement, the company is run in conjunction with daughters Gaia and Rossana.

尽管安杰洛·加亚从未宣布退休，但公司与他的女儿 Gaia 和 Rossana 一同运营。）
