Gaja Camarcanda 2019

Camarcanda shows red ripe fruits on the nose, with hints of bergamot and strawberry (typical notes from Cabernet Franc). The bouquet is embracing and persistent and has a juicy and complex palate with flavours of Mediterranean bushes and berries. The high level of flavour concentration is well balanced with an engaging acidity. This wine has a long finish and firm but refined tannins. A wine which evolves within the glass. The grapes are grown in vineyards planted on white soil rich in limestone, firm clay and stones. The two varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, are fermented and macerated separately for around 15 days. After 12 months of ageing in oak and a further 6 months in concrete vessels, they are blended and aged for several months in the bottle before being released.

The typical nature of white soil and the abundance of stones are essential to give the wine a solid and complex structure. A nose with flowery, red fruit and root notes, typical of the Mediterranean scrub. The taste is rounded, with a dense texture and a remarkable mineral character. Lingering finish with smooth tannins
