Colour The wine is a deep crimson colour tending towards black. |
|
Bouquet lavender flower, garden herb, black fruit, spice and tobacco. You might even detect a hint of black olive |
|
Flavour solid but never heavy, and it offers a good sense of fresh acidity that makes for a lively and bright finish. That more acidic vein is neatly folded into ample fruity sweetness and flavor. |
Wine Advocate Robert Parker 94 Points
Glowing and intense colour. Polished, refined, focused and expressive, with notes of eucalyptus, pepper and pine. A typical notes of the local Mediterranean bushes and berries rise from the glass.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany’s Bolgheri region, Ca’Marcanda stands as a testament to the Gaja family’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence in winemaking. Established in 1996 by Angelo Gaja, a luminary in Italian viticulture, the winery represents a bold venture beyond the family’s Piedmontese roots, embracing the unique terroir of the Tuscan coast

It was the beginning of the new millennium and Angelo Gaja was busy making the first vintage at the family’s latest acquisition in Bolgheri; Ca’ Marcanda. Meaning ‘house of endless negotiations’ in Gaja’s Piedmontese dialect, the estate’s name is a reflection of the endless rounds of talks with the owners required to finalise the purchase of the property, which finally went through in 1996 – two years after the acquisition of the Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Montalcino.
In Bolgheri, both on dark soil rich in lime and clay, and white soil full of limestone, clay, and stones.
Winemaking
Harvested by hand, the grapes were destemmed then placed in stainless steel vats where they were fermented at a controlled temperature. Maceration took around 15 days, after which the wine was transferred in French oak barrels for 18 months of ageing
