Vistamare, Ca'Marcanda (Gaja) 2022

Veseli naziv ovog vina znači “pogled na more,” a vinova loza ustvari uživa u panoramskom pogledu na obalu Toskanskog mora. Ovo vino imanja Ca’Marcanda porodice Gaja u Bolgheriju, je kupaža: 45% Vermentino, 40% Viognier i 15% Fiano. Vermentino i Fiano se fermentišu u nerđajućem čeliku, a Viognier ide u drvo, jedan dio sazrijeva sa talogom da bude bogatiji.  Vino je svježe, sa notama bergamota, kruške, nektarine i bijele ribizle, mijenjajući se prema mineralnijem i pikantijem karakteru sa notama kremena, ruzmarina i šafrana. Divo se slaže sa mediteranskim jelima od morskih plodova.

The playful name of this wine means “sea view,” and indeed the vines do enjoy a panoramic view of the Tuscan sea coast.  From Gaja’s Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri, this is a blend of 45% Vermentino, 40% Viognier and 15% Fiano.  The Vermentino and Fiano are fermented in stainless steel, while the Viognier goes into wood — some with lees aging to add richness.  The wine is fresh with notes of bergamot, pear, nectarine and white currant, shifting towards a more mineral and spicy character with notes of flint, rosemary and saffron.  It is a wonderful pairing with Mediterranean seafood dishes.
