Wine Advocate
Review Date: 02/2024The Ca' Marcanda 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It brings forth a floral bouquet, showing subtle elegance at the start. Give it a few moments and the wine hits on all cylinders with integrated oak, bright fruit, black cherry, pomegranate seed, iris root and dustings of oak spice that never overshadow the fruit. The wine is refreshingly uncomplicated but shows refined nuance instead. This is the proverbial understated elegance that Gaja achieves so beautifully. It closes with lovely acidity and dusty tannins. (ML)

Notes
Gaja Ca'Marcanda "Magari" Toscana IGT Rosso is a sophisticated and expressive red blend from the Gaja family's Ca'Marcanda estate, situated in the renowned Bolgheri region of Tuscany. "Magari," meaning "if only it were true" in Italian, reflects a sense of hope and possibility. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, crafted to showcase the richness, complexity, and elegance that Bolgheri's unique coastal terroir can offer. On the nose, "Magari" reveals a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe plums, and dark cherries, with subtle layers of Mediterranean herbs, eucalyptus, and spice. Hints of tobacco, licorice, and a touch of graphite add depth, reflecting the influence of the Bordeaux varietals. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity that frame flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and a touch of cocoa. The finish is long, smooth, and layered, with a refined minerality that lingers elegantly.
