Description

Critics

“This is an inviting, colorful red with tea-tree oil, blueberries, violets and lavender. Hints of fresh herbs. Taut, fluid and zesty, it is finely sliced into grippy portions of tannins that sandwich elegant flavors of dark fruit interlaced with carefully tuned acidity. Drink now or hold.” – 93 Points, 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. Best from 2021 through 2030.” – 92 Pts, Wine Spectator

Producer

Tuscany’s Maremma area, south of Livorno, is one of Italy’s most dynamic wine regions. Ca’Marcanda, the Gaja family’s wine estate is located in the famed Bolgheri district in the commune of Castagato Carduci. Bolgheri’s hot summer days, freshened by brisk sea air and cool nights, create an ideal climate for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Syrah wines. The estate is characterised by two distinct soil types – terre brune (dark soil), predominantly loam and clay, and terre chiare (white soil), which is richer in limestone and filled with stones and pebbles.
