Camarcanda - Bolgheri Rosso 2016 - Hoogste waardering Duemillavini! - Parker 97/100
De wijn is gemaakt van 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon en 10% Cabernet Franc druiven. De druivenstokken zijn aangeplant in een steenrijk deel nabij Castegneto Carducci, nabij Bolgheri.
Na de pluk van de druiven vindt de fermentatie, volledig gescheiden, plaats. Na de eerste gisting wordt de blend gemaakt om verder te kunnen rijpen voor een periode van 18 maanden in nieuw eiken barriques. De verdere verfijning van de wijn geschiedt op de fles, in de kelders van het domein, voor een periode van 12 maanden.

This is another beautiful creation from the Gaja family. The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda (Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc) 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.

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.
