CLIMATE & TERROIR: Mediterranean climate. The soils here are quite
light, with a high lime content.
VINIFICATION: The two grape varieties used are
harvested, fermented and matured separately. First 12 months in new and used
oak barrels, then another 6 months in concrete. The wine is then
blended and followed by a few months of bottle maturation.
GRAPES: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 14.50%
NOIS & TASTE: A wine rich in tannins in its youth with powerful
aromas of red fruit and herbs. The taste is full and complex, with
a long, persistent aftertaste. As time passes, the Camarcanda
becomes increasingly refined.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Delicious with wild boar or ribeye, for example.
FACT: At Gaja, the ‘cap’ of the skins is not pressed: it
disappears into the stills of a small distillery in Barbaresco,
where grappa is produced.
