Terroir & Winemaking Craft
- Coastal Bolgheri Terroir: Sourced from Ca'Marcanda’s estate vineyards in the Maremma region of coastal Tuscany. Grown on stony calcareous clay and dark alluvial soils facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, the vines benefit from warm Mediterranean sun balanced by cool maritime night winds that preserve high natural acidity and sea-salt minerality.
- Artisanal Varietal Harmonization: Vermentino provides crisp citrus energy and salinity, Viognier brings lush stone fruit and exotic white flower aromatics, while Fiano contributes rich texture and structural weight. Fermented separately in a mix of stainless steel tanks and neutral wooden casks before blending, capturing pure Mediterranean freshness.
Highlights
- A signature white blend of Vermentino, Viognier, and Fiano from Angelo Gaja’s Ca'Marcanda estate in Tuscany.
- A radiant 2024 release bursting with white peach, candied lemon peel, jasmine, wild rosemary, and sea salt.
- Crafted by the legendary Gaja family, offering 5 to 10+ years of cellar potential.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Pale straw-gold with brilliant greenish-lemon reflections.
- Nose: Intensely fragrant, complex, and Mediterranean. It opens with aromas of ripe white peach, apricoting nectar, and candied lemon peel, accompanied by jasmine blossoms, wild sage, rosemary, and crushed sea salt.
- Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and satiny. The entry brings a rich wave of stone fruit and citrus sap that glides across a textured mid-palate, held together by vibrant acidity into a long, saline, mineral-driven finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 10–12°C (avoid over-chilling) to allow its rich floral aromatics and silky texture to uncoil fully.
- Decanting: A brief 15-to-20 minute aeration is recommended if enjoying young. Best enjoyed now through 2034+.
- Western Pairing: Grilled branzino with herbs, butter-poached lobster, roasted poultry with lemon and herbs, or seafood risotto.
- Asian Pairing: Steamed grouper with ginger and scallions, Hainanese chicken rice, salt-and-pepper prawns, or dim sum.
