Product Details

Code: GAJ001D

Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy. Originating in and still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy. Gaja name remains most strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, though the company now makes more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont.  The business was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja with just two hectares (five acres) of vineyards in Barbaresco. Each generation saw expansion, although Angelo Gaja, who took over full-time in 1970, is often credited with the estate's more recent success. 

The white wine produced in the Ca'Marcanda estate, it is a savory, floral blend of both Italian and French varieties. The name evokes the typical maritime vista of the central Italian coast, yet it is the freshness and vitality of the wine which supports the name, not the location of the vineyard sites, which lie over six miles from the ocean.

The refreshing presence of Fiano gives notes of fern, musk and menthol. On the palate, it is fresh and compact with notes of bergamot, pear, nectarine and white currant. Then it shifts toward a more mineral and spicy character, with notes of flint, rosemary, saffron.
