Ca'Marcanda
“These are among the finest wines I have tasted from the Gaja family’s Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri. Specifically, 2020s capture the best the vintage had to offer in their vibrant personalities. In recent vintages, the style has shifted away from the opulence of the early years to an approach that focuses more on freshness. Vintage 2020 further exalts those qualities. It’s been a long road at Ca’Marcanda, but the wines really feel like they are turning a corner, and that is great to see” – Antonio Galloni
Ca’Marcanda, part of the Gaja family’s legacy, was founded in 1996 after a long search for prime land in Tuscany’s Bolgheri region. The 70-hectare estate features ideal clay-limestone soils, perfect for producing rich, structured wines. The name, Ca’Marcanda, meaning “house of endless negotiations” in the Piedmontese dialect, reflects the lengthy process to acquire the property.
The estate’s location benefits from abundant sunlight, cool breezes from the hills, and warm winds from the Mediterranean, creating an ideal environment for grape growing. Ca’Marcanda produces standout wines under the Bolgheri DOC, including Magari and Camarcanda, as well as Vistamare under Toscana IGT.
