Why We're Buying
Gaja has been a well-regarded family-owned estate for more than 150 years. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s that Gaja reached the beloved status that it enjoys today. Under the guidance of Giovanni Gaja, the estate began producing single-vineyard Barbaresco. It also utilized French grape varieties and practices that married the best of Bordeaux and Piedmont winemaking. Then in 1996, T Angelo Gaja had spun off Ca’Marcanda as a way to challenge himself with cabernet sauvignon. The 2019 Gaja Ca'Marcanda 'Camarcanda' Bolgheri continues that tradition of excellence and innovation. The favorable growing conditions in 2019 yielded an intense, striking, and balanced red blend that’s rife with dark fruit, herbs, coffee, oak, and earthiness. As wine critic Monica Larner put it, “This is a gorgeous wine—one of the best made at Ca' Marcanda for sure.” The Final Sip: Camarcanda represents the best that Ca’Marcanda has to offer, and the 2019 vintage only proves the rule.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This wine qualifies as a Bolgheri Superiore (in terms of vineyard yields and aging), but the Gaja family has always kept it a Bolgheri Rosso that is released one year after its peers. The 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda showed shy or closed aromas when first tasted, but it opened considerably when I went back to the open sample bottle a few hours later. It starts with rich plummy aromas, floral accents, dark spice and pencil shaving. It is fully expressive in terms of mouthfeel, with ample structure and power all supported by beautifully ripened fruit (this is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) and firm tannins. Give this bottle more cellar time to fully develop the bouquet.
