Grapes: Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese

Ca’Marcanda, Gaja’s estate in Bolgheri, was born in 1996 propelled by Angelo Gaja’s ambition to challenge himself with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

The three varieties ferment and macerate separately for around 15 days. After 12 months of ageing in oak, they are blended and then aged for several months in the bottle before release. The wine shows generous notes of fruits and Mediterranean scrub. Sweet incense notes accompanied by floral tones of rose and rhubarb note, typical of this region. On the palate, it showcases elegance and easy-drinking qualities. The fruit profile displays a delightful mix of ripe fruit and balsamic scrub. The floral notes persist on the palate, mirroring the aromatic nose. Elegant with a long soft finish.
