Ca'Marcanda
Magari Bolgheri DOP
Magari is an Italian expression having different meanings “If only it was true…!”, “Maybe…”. It carries a sort of irony which leads people to smile, without showing off the great commitment and determination associated to the Ca’ Marcanda project.
In Bolgheri, both on dark soil rich in lime and clay, and white soil full of limestone, clay, and stones.

Bright, lively ruby red. The nose is vibrant and layered, with garrigue, crisp red berries, black tea, and subtle balsamic notes. The palate shows medium structure and silky, enveloping tannins, supported by a glyceric richness that adds volume and smoothness. The finish is savory, open, and expressive, with long persistence that underscores the wine’s clarity and precision.

"The 2024 Magari pours a youthful, saturated purple/red hue and opens with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, blackberry, violet, and a cooling mineral note. Full-bodied, it leans into elegance and finesse rather than weight, with well-defined tannins, integrated oak, and a long finish. It shows impressive concentration for the vintage, with a touch of savory richness on the close."

The 2024 Magari is terrific. It offers notable energy and drive right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, leather, incense, tobacco, scorched earth and espresso are all beautifully sculpted in the glass. What a great surprise this is. Then again, the Gaja family did not bottle their flagship Ca' Marcanda, opting instead to use all the best fruit from a vintage penalized by heavy rains at the end of the season in Magari.
