Darmagi Langhe DOP 1.5L

The Darmagi is Gaja's commitment to a grape variety that was long considered a foreign body in Piedmont — Cabernet Sauvignon on the hills of the Langhe, where Nebbiolo actually reigns. The name is legendary: Angelo Gaja is said to have so horrified his father with the decision to plant the Barbaresco site Costa Russi with Cabernet that he only muttered "darmagi" — Piedmontese for "what a pity".

Gaja has been one of the defining forces in Piedmont for decades. The winery from Barbaresco stands for uncompromising quality and the courage to question classic structures. The Darmagi is released as a Langhe DOC because Cabernet Sauvignon has no place in the regulations of the great Piedmont appellations — which does not detract from the wine's substance.

In the glass, it shows the typical signature of Cabernet from cooler sites: dark cassis, cedar wood, a hint of graphite, and dried herbs. The body is dense, the tannins are firm and structured, and the finish is long with a mineral note. The magnum bottle (1.5 l) matures more slowly and evenly than the standard bottle — an advantage for a wine of this stature.

Serve it at 17–18 °C, ideally after decanting for an hour. Suitable pairings: braised lamb shank, game ragù on pappardelle, or aged Pecorino.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
