Gaja 2023 Ca'Marcanda Vistamare 750ml

The 2023 Vistamare is a bright silver straw color and has a more Chablis-like aromatic profile at this early stage, with notes of wet stone, fresh citrus blossoms, fresh saltiness, and candied lime. The palate has a lovely core of ripe fruit and brings its more expressive fruity profile forward, as well as its peachiness. It has beautiful complexity and purity and doesn’t feel lean and leesy as so many whites in the region do. Drink over the coming 6-8 years.
