Ca’marcanda Vistamare (750ml)

Although the Bolgheri DOC appellation is universally recognized for its great red wines, traditional production in this territory was actually white and rosé wines. In fact, the initial set of DOC production regulations that went into effect in 1983 only permitted these two categories.  

The name of this wine, meaning “sea-view” was inspired by the vineyard’s proximity to the sea breeze.  The term is often used by the coastal hoteliers to entice potential guests (even though their rooms may only offer a limited view of the Mediterranean!). The vineyards used for Vistamare actually enjoy a panoramic view of the Tuscan horizon and their grapes grow not far from the coast and enjoy the saline air.  A blend of Vermentino (70%), Viognier (15%). Chardonnay (10%) and Sauvignon Blanc (5%)  The varieties are handpicked and and fermented separately.  Some of the juice ages for about 6 months in neutral oak barrels before blending.
