Questions about Ca'Marcanda Magari Bolgheri 2023
- What kind of wine is Bolgheri?
- Bolgheri is a coastal Tuscan appellation known for Bordeaux-style reds, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The sea breezes and stony soils give Ca'Marcanda's Magari a rich, structured yet fresh character.
- Are Bolgheri wines Super Tuscans?
- Many are. Bolgheri's top wines began as Super Tuscans, reds made with French varieties outside Chianti rules. Today Bolgheri has its own DOC, so wines like Magari are classed under the appellation.
- What does Magari mean?
- Magari is an Italian word that can mean "maybe" or "if only". Gaja gave it to this Ca'Marcanda red from Bolgheri, a blend that includes Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
- What does Ca'Marcanda mean?
- Ca'Marcanda is a Piedmontese phrase for a house of endless bargaining, a joke from Angelo Gaja's family. It is the name of Gaja's Bolgheri estate, which he started on the Tuscan coast.
