Description
In a nutshell:
A complex yet understated Tuscan red, layering dark fruit, subtle herbs, and fine tannins with effortless elegance.
The lowdown:
Magari is one of those serious Super-Tuscans that sticks firmly to Bordeaux varieties alone - Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot in this case. Each is vinified and aged separately in oak for a year before blending, resulting in real depth and structure. The nose is rich and concentrated, layering balsamic and liquorice notes with sweet dark fruit. On the palate, generous blackcurrant flavours are lifted by hints of coffee and mint, while fine, silky tannins give a seamless feel. The finish is long, savoury, and effortlessly composed, leaving a lasting impression.
The Producer:
A latecomer to Bolgheri's Super Tuscan scene, but very much at the top table, Ca' Marcanda is a Tuscan outpost of the legendary Angelo Gaja. Established in the 1990s on what was once orchards and farmland, the estate was a meticulously planned project from day one. Gaja's aim? To create wines that could stand alongside his famed Barolos and Barbarescos - and he's done just that. Precision, polish, and a keen sense of place define Ca' Marcanda's Bordeaux-style blends, now firmly among Bolgheri's finest.
When to drink:
Spot on with roast lamb or Tuscan-style porchetta - the rich flavours and herby seasoning match its depth perfectly. Also great with ripe, soft cheeses, where its fine tannins and dark fruit shine.
