Description
The Gaja family's Ca' Marcanda estate, situated in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, is known for its pioneering spirit and focus on expressing the maritime terroir of Maremma. Vistamare is an artful blend of Vermentino and Viognier sourced from vineyards influenced by Mediterranean breezes and mineral-rich soils. Grapes are hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed, and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel, with a portion aged in oak barrels to enhance mouthfeel and complexity. The wine is bottled at 13.5% ABV, revealing a pale gold colour and a bouquet of acacia blossom, ripe peach, mango, citrus, and a hint of saline. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with a core of tropical and orchard fruits, bright acidity and a lingering, mineral finish. Vistamare is a versatile, contemporary white wine that pairs beautifully with grilled fish, seafood risotto or light Mediterranean dishes, and exemplifies Gaja's vision of elegance and innovation in coastal Tuscan winemaking.
