Product Notes

Gaja Ca'Marcanda Magari wine is a tantalising blend, exuding elegance and luxurious sophistication. Crafted in the heart of Italy's famed Tuscany region, it marries Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot to perfection. On the palate, it's beautifully balanced with structured tannins and nuanced flavours of ripe blackberry, cassis, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. It captivates with a full-bodied richness, before ending in a refined, long-lasting finish. Expect an outstanding wine that effortlessly marries tradition with modernity, satisfying discerning connoisseurs with its exquisite depth and complexity. It's a true testament to Gaja's winemaking prowess.

Tasting Notes

The 2016 Magari shows a complex character without being brash. The nose is rich and concentrated, it starts fresh to then develop balsamic notes and scents of graphite, juniper and liquorice. Then it turns into a more mellow character with dark fruit and rhubarb. The palate is sweet and voluminous, with notes of mulberry and sour cherry. Fine-grained, silky tannins. Long-lasting, sapid finish.

About the Winery

Gaja

Nestled in the verdant hills of Barbaresco, Italy, you'll discover the esteemed Gaja Winery. Founded in 1859, it is a testament to the enduring passion the Gaja family holds for the art of viticulture, and their commitment to producing some of the finest wines in the world.

The Gaja Winery is known for pioneering techniques that have fundamentally transformed the face of Italian winemaking. Angelo Gaja, the brilliant mind behind many of these innovations, has been instrumental in putting Italian wines on the international stage. Not only did he introduce the use of new French oak barrels in fermentation, but he was also one of the key advocates of reducing vineyard yields in order to drastically enhance the quality of grapes.

The winery's profile boasts a stunning array of white and red wines. However, it was the single-vineyard Barbaresco wines that propelled the Gaja estate onto the international stage. With a multitude of global awards, their wines are a testament to both tradition and innovation.

Additionally, much of the winery's success can be attributed to the rigorous approach to vineyard management. The terroir, enriched by the unique soil and microclimate of the region, confers exceptional complexity and flavour to the grapes. Hand-harvesting ensures that only the finest are selected and processed immediately to preserve their quality.

Yet, Gaja is more than just about quality wines; it’s about the experience. The estate itself is beautiful featuring a rustic, but elegant charm that reflects the Gaja family’s respect for nature and tradition. As you explore its historic cellars, lush vineyards and taste their exceptional wines, you'll experience the heart and soul of Italian winemaking.

From humble beginnings, to being named among Italy's most renowned wineries, Gaja Winery rightfully deserves it's place in the annals of viniculture history. It remains a beacon of quality, innovation, and a hoe: a living testament to the power of family tradition and an enduring love for the land.
