Product Notes

Gaja Ca'marcanda Magari wine is a lavish offering from the iconic Gaja winery. This Tuscan beauty boasts an opulent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Verdot, offering an intense, concentrated flavour. The nose hints at dark fruits, spice and licorice, while the palate reveals rich, luscious layers of blackberry, ripe cherry, dark chocolate, and subtle toasty oak. Accompanied by silky tannins and a structured finish, it's incredibly balanced and full-bodied. This Italian treasure is a testament to Gaja’s well-established reputation for producing distinctive, high-quality wines. To truly relish its depth and complexity, decant before serving.

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.
