Ca' Marcanda | Angelo Gaja

Die 2020er Ausgabe des Promis zeigt alle Merkmale des ausgezeichneten Jahrgangs. Sattes Rubinrot. Im Bouquet ein lebhaftes Potpourri von Gewürzen, dunklen, fleischigen Früchten, Kirschen, Brombeeren und Teer. Am Gaumen festes Tannin, eine wunderbare volle Frucht und viel Persistenz, Intensität und Tiefe. SUPERIORE.DE

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 ist ein dunkler, reichhaltiger und üppiger Wein, der die Handschrift von Gaja in Bolgheri getreu widerspiegelt. Am Gaumen pralle und geschmeidige Frucht, dunkle Beeren und Gewürze vermischen sich mit nahtloser Intensität. Der Wein bietet festen Griff und lang anhaltende Kraft im Abgang. Hier gibt es nichts, was man nicht lieben könnte. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mitteldichtes, funkelndes Rubin mit ausgeprägtem Violettschimmer. Eröffnet mit Noten nach würzigem Zedernholz, dann dunkle Johannisbeere und etwas Rauch. Saftig und mit gut herausgearbeiteter Frucht am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit griffigem Tannin, im Finale fester Druck." Falstaff

"A polished red with lovely drinkability already, showing redcurrant and fresh-herb character. Some sandalwood, too. Medium-bodied with medium, firm tannins and a crisp and clean finish." James Suckling

"The Ca' Marcanda 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is another edition of a wine with a consistent past performance. The deft winemaking team at this Gaja-owned Tuscan estate is well equipped to counter extreme weather, either too hot or humid. The Magari (a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) offers pretty floral tones, rose and fresh blackcurrant with toast and cherry pie crust. The condition of the fruit is clearly excellent, and the oak spice is carefully dosed and integrated throughout the wine's softly creamy texture." Robert Parker

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

"Verheissungsvolle Himbeer- und Kräuternoten schmeicheln in der Nase; harmonische Textur, wunderbares Tannin-Säure-Gerüst, hat Saft und Kraft bis ins Finale. Macht Lust auf mehr." Vinum

"Dunkles Rubinrot mit violetten Rändern. Tiefgründiges, elegantes Bouquet, das eher von roten und blauen Beeren und verführerischen floralen Noten bestimmt ist, die einen fast ein wenig an einen Barolo erinnern, aber nur fast, denn hier ist das ganze umrahmt von Cassis und Cabernetaromen. Auch am Gaumen ist das nicht auf Kraft gemacht, sondern eher elegant und wohlproportiniert. Ich habe selten so einen eleganten Ca’ Marcanda im Glas gehabt. Das ist präzise, fast feminin, druckvoll und doch auch mit der Saftigkeit und dem Schmelz eines modernen Bolgheri-Küsten-Blends." Weinwisser

"Very typical for the region of Bolgheri, showing fresh and dried herbs, from sage to mint, with currants and dark berries. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and very attractive length and energy. Very drinkable now, but better in 2023." James Suckling

"The 2018 Camarcanda is a rich, dense wine that marries the natural intensity of the Tuscan Coast with the greater sense of energy the estate's wines have today. A blast of dark cherry, plum, espresso, menthol and licorice infuses the 2018 with notable depth that continues to build over time." Vinous

"Intense, vibrant and juicy, the 2018 Camarcanda features bright red and black fruits, wood and balsamic notes all wrapped up in some soft creaminess. Tight and tangy, the palate features ripe fruits and a mouthwatering saline finish, leaving you wanting more. So fresh and youthful, this will benefit from time in the cellar." Decanter

"Dense and fluid at once, this red delivers plum, black cherry, licorice, olive, bay leaf and spice flavors. Ripe and balanced, with a lingering, spicy, tobacco-tinged aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"The Ca' Marcanda estate does not make a Bolgheri Superiore, although this bottle would qualify as such. The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and you definitely feel those full-throttle varietal aromas with big intensity and clarity. Spicy greenness comes forward as grilled rosemary and lavender essence, but the wine boasts nice depth and dimension, and enough textual richness to smooth it all out. This was a slightly cooler vintage with some sporadic rain showers throughout the summer. These conditions might explain the sharper side of those Cabernet aromas. As the wine moves over the palate, it reveals more substantial aromas of black fruit, spice and baker's chocolate." Robert Parker

"Funkelndes Rubin, satt bis zum Rand. Intensive und ansprechende Nase, sehr klar gezeichnet, viel Heidelbeeren und dunkle Johannisbeeren, etwas Blutorange, im Hintergrund etwas Lakritze. Griffiges, herzhaftes Tannin, im Kern etwas griffig, viel dunkelbeerige Frucht, breitet sich kontinuierlich aus, saftig und lange." Falstaff

"Gentle and lifted. With tannins hardly perceptible until some very fine leathery ones at the very end. Very 21st-century and polished. Quite a statement!" Jancis Robinson

"The 2019 Camarcanda is a very good example of how much the wines have changed here. Medium in body with good depth, the 2019 Camarcanda is a tightly wound wine that is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Dark cherry, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice build nicely, with pretty floral and mineral accents that liven up the finish. The 2019 is classy, elegant and polished. Give it a few years, as the tannins are pretty intense today, but this softens nicely with air." Vinous

"This verges on thick yet remains balanced and vibrant, courtesy of the lively acidity. Boasts blackberry, dark plum and blueberry flavors framed by tar and toasty oak. The finish is both dense and clean, with a hint of licorice. Excellent length and potential." Wine Spectator

"A very beautiful young red with blackcurrant, fresh herb and hints of cedar and smoke. It’s full-bodied yet very polished and refined with a lovely texture. Extremely long and graceful. Try after 2025." James Suckling

"Ca' Marcanda is officially a Bolgheri DOC, not a Superiore, but it is handled as if it were the latter. The blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc (there has been no Merlot since 2015) - a small percentage whole-bunch - is aged in oak (10% new) for 18 months. Volume and vibrancy distinguishes this 2019. It's super-floral on the nose, with a graceful violet aroma, restrained cassis, a smorgasbord of Mediterranean herbs, the leafy eucalyptus typical of Bolgheri, and savoury chocolate and tobacco. The attack is full, with refined crunchy tannins and brilliant acidity. An enticing wine worth waiting for." Decanter

"This is a gorgeous vintage that continues to flesh out beautifully. I added an extra point to my score since the last time I tasted the 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda in order to underline the great potential of this vintage. This wine could legally be a Bolgheri Superiore, but Angelo Gaja prefers not to use qualifying wine terms such as Superiore, Classico or Riserva in his various wine projects spanning from Piedmont to Tuscany to Etna. Semantics aside, this is a gorgeous wine—one of the best made at Ca' Marcanda for sure—with impressive intensity and balance. Dark fruit and blackberry are contrasted against spice, tobacco, grilled rosemary and Mediterranean bramble. The 2019 vintage saw favorable weather conditions and "just the right amount of rain," Gaja says." Robert Parker
