Ca' Marcanda | Angelo Gaja

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. Der Wein trinkt sich wunderschön und geschmeidig und umschmeichelt alle Sinne mit sinnlicher Seidigkeit. Der Jahrgang 2018 liefert pralle und extra geschmeidige Frucht, die den Stil des Hauses Ca' Marcanda weiter unterstreicht. 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

"Aromas of currants, orange peel and dried herbs, such as sage, follow through to a medium to full body with pretty fruit and a juicy, savory finish that shows walnut and fresh terracotta." James Suckling

"A blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Magari shows grace and a slightly lighter style that works very nicely. With the recent releases from Bolgheri, many from the hot and concentrated 2017 vintage, this 2018 alternative comes as an elegant surprise. You can appreciate the purity of the fruit, with dark cherry and plum, and the acidity that pops up on the finish. This is almost a full-bodied red, but not quite. It holds back just a hair, and that more careful approach goes a long way to the pleasure factor." Robert Parker

"The 2018 Magari is quite deceptive in its first impression. Translucent and medium in body, Magari opens to reveal lovely brightness and persistence that gives the wine shape. Sweet dark berry fruit, spice, tobacco, cedar and licorice are nicely woven throughout. Quite simply, the 2018 Magari is one of the classiest wines I can remember tasting from Ca’ Marcanda. It is not an obvious wine, but it sure is enticing." Vinous

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

"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

"Eröffnet mit delikaten Cassis- und Kräuteraromen; kraftvolle und doch elegante Textur mit stämmigen Gerbstoffen, belebende Säure, viel Schliff, Saft und Länge, gefällt mit seinem feinpfefferigen Fruchtfinale. Gajas Bolgheri-Interpretation vereint Schliff und Fülle." Vinum

"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 Camarcanda is pretty, open-knit and gracious in its bouquet, although there is a good bit of Cabernet tannin underpinning the dark fruit. Hints of chocolate, mint, sage, tobacco, licorice and blackberry develop in the glass. The 2016 needs a few years to soften, but it is undeniably attractive and inviting. It's hard to say if it is the vintage, or if the style here has moved towards a bit more freshness as it has at Gaja in Piedmont, but the 2016 Camarcanda does seem to have an extra kick of vibrancy over some previous editions. I can't wait to taste it with some bottle age." Vinous

"Fragrant florals punctuate the nose, ranging from lavender to hyacinth, and there are hints of heather and thyme, too. Citrusy undertones abound. There’s a profundity to the center palate, which is decked out in sheets of dark fruit-flavored, muscular tannins that retain a telltale elegance, as they envelop the peripheries of the mouth. Long and mineral, this is a delightful wine now and will continue to open up as the years go by." James Suckling

"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

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
