Gaja’s Ca Marcanda Vistamare Bianco 2024

“A preview sample from a short vertical tasting at the winery, the 2024 Vistamare was tasted while still on the lees. The nose opens to fresh and tropical notes of fresh herbs, orange blossoms, and white peach. The palate is zesty and fresh, with medium to full-bodied richness and an elegant, rounded feel, and it retains good freshness.” –95pts JD
