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.

- Region
- Tuscany
- Appellation
- Bolgheri DOP
- Varietal Composition
- Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot
- Aging
- The three varieties ferment and macerate separately for around 15 days. After 12 months of aging in oak, they are blended and then aged for several months in the bottle before release.
Deep ruby red with violet hues. The Cabernet varieties show their muscles with dark small fruits like black currant, marasca cherry and blackberry. Magari shows a complex character without being brash. The nose is rich, it starts fresh and then develops into Mediterranean scrub and black tea notes. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins. This wine has a long-lasting and a very flavorful finish.

2023
"Also tasted as part of a short vertical, the 2023 Magari is a bright magenta/ruby color. It’s fresh, spicy, and floral on the nose, with balanced pure cherry fruit, spicy cedar, toasted incense, and fresh rosemary. It displays a medium-framed profile, but it doesn’t lack focus in its silky texture, fine tannins, and refreshing though seamless acidity. This vintage offers a lot of freshness and elegance. It’s lovely out of the gate but should have an even and long window for drinking over the coming 15 or so years."
