- TASTING NOTE: "The 2021 Magari is the most elegant Magari I can remember tasting. Vibrant, nuanced and medium in body, the 2021 possesses notable energy from start to finish. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Dark cherry, mocha, dried herbs, licorice and menthol are finely sculpted in this super-expressive Bolgheri red. Terrific." 94 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is sourced from both the terre brune and terre bianche soils of the Ca'Marcanda estate. Produced from Cabernet Franc 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Petit Verdot 10%, the three varieties ferment and macerate separately for around 15 days. After 12 months of ageing in oak, they are blended and then aged for several months in bottle before release.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Ca'Marcanda is the Gaja family's outpost in Bolgheri, Tuscany. There was no land under vine when Angelo Gaja purchased the land in 1996 and wanting to challenge himself further with the Bordeaux varieties, he planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot as well as some Syrah and Sangiovese. The estate’s vineyards are composed of two different soil types: the ‘terre brune’ is a dark soil made up of lime and clay, while the ‘terre bianche’ is stonier and features limestone and clay. The terre brune produces fruity, easy drinking wines, while the terre bianche produces wines with more structure and ageing potential. The estate is certified organic.
