Angelo Gaja zauvijek je promijenio svjetsku scenu o pijemontskim vinima kada je 1985. godine prvi put objavio ovo povijesno vino, proizvedeno od grožđa Cabernet Sauvignon posađenog u gradiću Barbaresco. Legenda kaže da je otac Angela Gaje, kada je saznao da je njegov sin posadio Cabarnet Sauvignon u vinogradima koji su bili prije toga rezervirani samo za pijemontsko tradicionalno grožđe Nebbiolo, uskliknuo “darmagi!” ( u prijevodu; “Kakva sramota “). Zbog svoga poštovanja prema svima prije njega, mlađi Gaja odlučio je ovo vino nazvati Darmagi, u čast naslijeđu njegove obitelji, ali s pogledom prema budućnosti.
Angelo Gaja forever changed the world scene of Piedmontese wines when he first released this historic wine in 1985, made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes planted in the small town of Barbaresco. Legend has it that Angela Gaia’s father, when he learned that his son had planted Cabarnet Sauvignon in vineyards previously reserved only for the Piedmontese traditional grape Nebbiolo, exclaimed “darmagi!” (in translation; “What a disgrace”). Because of his respect for and those all before him, the younger Gaia decided to call this wine Darmagi, in honor of his family’s heritage, but with a view to the future.
