Tasting Notes – Gaja Camarcanda 2018
Nose
The bouquet opens with ripe red fruits such as black cherry and raspberry, enriched by refined hints of bergamot and wild strawberry — distinctive hallmarks of Cabernet Franc. Aromas are deep, persistent, and enveloping, offering complexity with every swirl.
Palate
On the palate, Gaja Camarcanda 2018 is structured yet graceful. Flavours of Mediterranean herbs, wild berries, and subtle spice interplay beautifully with a juicy, vibrant acidity. The wine displays remarkable concentration without heaviness, framed by firm but polished tannins. It finishes long and evolving, revealing new layers as it breathes in the glass.
