This Tuscan beauty boasts an opulent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Verdot, offering an intense, concentrated flavour.

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.
