The Ca' Marcanda 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is another edition of a wine with a consistent past performance. The deft winemaking team at this Gaja-owned Tuscan estate is well equipped to counter extreme weather, either too hot or humid. The Magari (a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) offers pretty floral tones, rose and fresh blackcurrant with toast and cherry pie crust. The condition of the fruit is clearly excellent, and the oak spice is carefully dosed and integrated throughout the wine's softly creamy texture.

A polished red with lovely drinkability already, showing redcurrant and fresh-herb character. Some sandalwood, too. Medium-bodied with medium, firm tannins and a crisp and clean finish. Drink or hold.

Magari means if only it were true!, an expression used often in Italian to express desire, hope, and a vision of a bright future.
Appellation: Bolgheri DOP
Vineyards: In Bolgheri, both on dark soil rich in lime and clay, and white soil full of limestone, clay and stones.
Soil: The vineyard blocks that make up this blend are further away from the nearby sea, closer to the fertile hillside. The loamy, clay-rich soils here are known as terre brune meaning dark brown earth, ideal for the cultivation of wines with richness, depth and minerality and notes of goudron and tar.
Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot
Tasting Notes: Bright and deep color. 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 final.
Fermentation: Separate fermentation for the three varieties, of around 15 days
Aging: After 12 months of ageing in oak, they are blended and then aged for several months in the bottle before release.
First Vintage Produced: 2000
