Ca' Marcanda | Angelo Gaja

Promis, der neben Merlot auch noch aus Syrah und Sangiovese gekeltert ist, bietet eine schier unglaubliche Lebendigkeit und Tiefe. Wunderbar seidige Tannine und ein fruchtig heller Nachgeschmack lassen ihn schon heute zu einer Köstlichkeit werden. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Promis is fresh, floral and inviting. Bright raspberry and floral notes, along with mid-weight structure, make the 2016 an ideal wine for drinking now and over the next few years. This is an especially refined, gracious Maremma red." VINOUS

"Aromas of dark berries, licorice and sandalwood following through to medium to full body with firm tannins. A juicy and delicious finish." James Suckling

"Black currant, blackberry, herb, mineral and tobacco notes ply this firm, intense and sinewy red. The taut profile and compact structure persist on the long finish. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese." Wine Spectator

"There is a lovely delicateness and softness to the 2016 Promis. The IGT appellation used here reflects fruit (a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese) sourced from Bibbona. The Promis has always seen Merlot in a leading role. This is a full and complete wine with nice roundness and bright freshness on the close. It is the most immediate and food friendly of these offerings from Ca'Marcanda." Robert Parker

Gajas Weißwein Vistamare wird seinem Namen sehr gerecht: Weit, schillernd und immer wieder neu, so stimmungsvoll wie ein Seeblick. Die feine Cuvée aus Vermentino, Viognier, Chardonnay und Sauvignon erinnert an die reichhaltigen Düfte von Bolgheri. Voll, fruchtig, elegant und lang im Geschmack. SUPERIORE.DE

Magari wird aus 50 Prozent Merlot sowie Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc zu gleichen Teilen vinifiziert. Er präsentiert sich frisch und saftig, mit kräftigen vegetabilen Akzenten und großer Tiefe. Einfach köstlich! SUPERIORE.DE

"Gaja started to make wine in Bolgheri in 2000. Magari changed in blend in 2014, replacing the difficult Merlot in this warm climate with Petit Verdot which ripens better here than in Bordeaux. The 2016 is youthful in colour, full of leafy Cabernet Franc notes. It has firm, extracted tannins and is not without great tension on the palate. It needs time to develop in finesse and complexity, having now the exuberance of youth." Decanter

"The 2016 Magari is a dark, powerful wine. In most vintages, Magari is a wine of Tuscan charm, but powerful tannins give the 2016 a somewhat compact feel. There is plenty of depth to the black fruit, mocha, new leather and spice flavors, but the 2016 is clearly very young. There is not much Bolgheri charm in the early going. The 2016 is going to need at least a few years in bottle to come together." VINOUS

"A very fresh nose with tons of dark fruit, such as brambleberries, blueberries and dark cherries, as well as vanilla, dried herbs and eucalyptus. Medium to full body, fresh acidity and a tight finish." James Suckling

"Black currant and black cherry fruit mingles with mint, olive, graphite and tobacco notes in this red. Elegant, with ample density and bright acidity, ending in a firm, fruit-, mineral- and herb-tinged aftertaste. Well-proportioned and classy." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Magari produces an expressive and opulent red wine, with great acidity and definition. The wine is firm and tightly wound, with secondary complexity that expresses itself in terms of tar, leather and spice. The tannins are supple and soft." Robert Parker

Camarcanda ist ein reicher Bolgheri Rosso mit dunklem Bouquet von schwarzen Früchten, Espresso, Schokolade, Lakritze und Teer. Am Gaumen ausgesprochen vollmundig, mit hervorragenden Tiefe, dichter Struktur und straffem Körper. Opulent und lang zeigt dieser Wein schon heute eine große Bandbreite seiner Persönlichkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"No one understands why Angelo Gaja keeps this wine as a Bolgheri Rosso when it has all the qualities to be a Bolgheri Superiore (which is what it really is from a winemaking point of view). The 2012 Bolgheri Carmarcanda is a beautifully perfumed and delicate expression with an enormous sense of aromatic lift and purity. This blend of Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc is absolutely seamless and harmonious on all fronts. Its most attractive aspect is the consistency. It shows enormous grace and harmony but it never loses its power or persistency." Robert Parker

"Rich and bursting with cedar, licorice, black currant and sandalwood aromas and flavors, this red is dense and chewy. Balanced and long, this begs for grilled steak or a roast." Wine Spectator

"The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda shows the pedigree of the vintage and the importance this top shelf wine deserves. This is an exceptional blend of Merlot with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc that is challenging to taste next to the 2014 Magari, which is so radically different. Camarcanda reveals Gaja's signature touch with full and generous fruit layers that are backed by spice, leather, tobacco and lovely succulence. The wine is integrated and smooth with long-lasting favors and beautiful tannin management. Despite its heft, the wine is elegant and silky through and through." Robert Parker

"Very Bordeaux-like, this red offers plum, cherry, coffee, green olive and spice aromas and flavors. Taut and dense, with a long, fresh finish that exudes cedar, sandalwood and green olive notes." Wine Spectator

"A very fresh nose with notes of lavender, herbs, licorice and nutmeg. Medium to full body, a really driven line of acidity and a long, very taut finish. Wood shows at the end. Needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

"The 2015 Ca' Marcanda is one of the most polished, sensual wines I have tasted from the Gaja family's Ca' Marcanda estate. Beautifully layered and silky on the palate, with striking aromatic nuance, the 2015 is super-impressive. Cedar, tobacco, crushed flowers and herbs are some of the many notes that open up in this undeniably appealing mid-weight wine." VINOUS

"A tightly wound version, with black cherry, blueberry, tobacco and iron flavors etched into a sleek, tensile texture. Balanced on the tannic side and in need of a grilled steak or lamb." Wine Spectator

"The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result. (The soils are treated with compost to darken them and to keep them balanced.) This wine is tight and compact, showing good backbone, complexity and intensity as a result of the terre bianche, or those white soils. The 2015 vintage is particularly fruity, sweet and succulent, with a delineated minerality in the mouth. The wine spends 18 months in oak." Robert Parker

"Glänzendes, intensives Rubinrot mit Violettschimmer. Fein gezeichnete Nase mit Noten nach Roten und Schwarzen Johannisbeeren, frisch, dann dunkle Kirsche und Gewürze. Rund und geschmeidig am Gaumen, zeigt viel präsente Frucht, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, saftig und lange, sehr präzise." Falstaff

"Austere in aroma, this red reveals intense flavors of cherry, raspberry, rose and mineral. Firmly structured, yet stays on course with a laser of fruit. Vanilla and toast notes chime in on the finish. Fine balance, length and complexity." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda is infinitely smooth and finely textured down to the very last pixel in what is a high-resolution panoramic photograph. The core of the wine is packed tight with an explosion of flavor and concentration with so much dark fruit, spice, tobacco and sweet tobacco that unfurls from deep inside. This wine will have a long and, I am quite sure, very happy aging future ahead. It shows utmost precision and balance, with long persistence and a beautifully polished texture." Robert Parker
