Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Wine Advocate 96 pts
James Suckling 95 pts
  • 95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Ca' Marcanda 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It brings forth a floral bouquet, showing subtle elegance at the start. Give it a few moments and the wine hits on all cylinders with integrated oak, bright fruit, black cherry, pomegranate seed, iris root and dustings of oak spice that never overshadow the fruit. The wine is refreshingly uncomplicated but shows refined nuance instead. This is the proverbial understated elegance that Gaja achieves so beautifully. It closes with lovely acidity and dusty tannins.
  • 94 Points - James Suckling: Lots of cabernet franc character with currant bush and fresh herbs like basil and lemongrass. Medium to full body, with firm tannins and a savory finish. Some tomato leaf and currant undertones. A blend of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot.
  • Dual Soil Character: Sourced from both *terre brune* (dark, clay-rich loam that lends richness and depth) and *terre bianche* (calcareous, white limestone that adds mineral focus and tension) across the Ca' Marcanda property.
  • Cabernet Franc Focus: Meaning "if only" in Italian, "Magari" is crafted by Angelo Gaja with a dominant proportion of Cabernet Franc blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, prioritizing aromatic finesse, fresh herbal lift, and silky textural balance.

Highlights

  • Cabernet Franc-led Bolgheri blend from Angelo Gaja’s renowned Ca' Marcanda estate.
  • Rated 95 points by both Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and James Suckling.
