VISTAMARE VERMENTINO TOSCANA IGP 2022
Bottle Shot

The only white wine produced at Ca’Marcanda, is a blend of predominantly Vermentino at 70%, then 20% Fiano and 10% Viognier. All varieties are vinified separately. The Vermentino is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and the Viognier in barrel. Elevage is for 6 months then blended and bottled. The wine is actually classified as Toscana IGP as the Vistamare vineyard is found outside the Bolgheri DOC in neighbouring Bibbona. The name Vistamare means ‘sea view’ as the site in Bibbona overlooks the Tyrrhenian coastline.

 

PROMIS TOSCANA IGP 2021
MERLOT, SYRAH, SANGIOVESE
Bottle Shot

From the 2021 vintage which was very dry but moderately cool resulting in wines with great colour, concentration and acidity. A blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese. The Promis is sourced from vineyards across Bolgheri and Bibbona with the majority in Bibbona on only dark soils rich in clay. The three varieties are fermented cool separately over 15 days. All varieties retain 15-20% whole bunch in the ferment and are then aged in a mixture of Tonneau and Barrique. The name Promis, derived from the Italian word for promise is in reference to the Gaja family’s commitment to bringing and producing world class wines from the region.

 

MAGARI BOLGHERI DOP 2021
CAB FRANC, CAB SAUVIGNON, PETIT VERDOT
Bottle Shot

Composed of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot off a mix of both white and dark soils. As always the varieties are vinified separately at around 25 degrees Celsius with 15% whole bunch component. After this the wine moves to oak for 12 months around which 25% is new. The vineyards are all situated near the winery all within Bolgheri DOC and classified as such.

“The 2021 Magari is the most elegant Magari I can remember tasting. Vibrant, nuanced and medium in body, the 2021 possesses notable energy from start to finish. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Dark cherry, mocha, dried herbs, licorice and menthol are finely sculpted in this super-expressive Bolgheri red. Terrific.”  – 94 Points – Antonio Galloni – Vinous

 

CAMARCANDA BOLGHERI DOP 2020
CAB SAUVIGNON, CAB FRANC
Bottle Shot

This wine takes its name from the estate and is entirely from vineyards within Bolgheri DOC. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc grapes grown only on the white soils rich in clay and limestone. Vinified separately with 20% whole bunch in the ferment. Ca’Marcanda spends 12 months in 25% new oak, 70% in Tonneau and 30% in Barrique. After this the wine is blended to concrete and spends another 12 months there before being bottled.

“The 2020 Camarcanda is suave, elegant and wonderfully expressive. Lifted aromatics and silky tannins give Camarcanda tons of finesse. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2020 is beautifully resonant. Pretty floral and spice notes open the  finish effortlessly. The 2020 is without question the finest Camarcanda to date. Bravo.”  – 94 Points – Antonio Galloni – Vinous
