This is a stellar wine from one of Piemonte's great producers, the Gaja family, which bought two vineyards in Barolo 1995 from a family named Gromi. The name of the wine, Da Gromis, is Italian for 'at home with the Gromis family'. This wine is made from two vineyards, one in Serralunga and one in La Morra. Grapes from each are fermented separately then aged for 12 months in oak, then blended and aged for a further 18 months in large oak.
