Magari is an Italian expression having different meanings "If only it was true…!", "Maybe…". It carries a sort of irony which leads people to smile, without showing off the great commitment and determination associated to the Ca’ Marcanda project.

Deep ruby red with violet hues. The Cabernet varieties show their muscles with dark small fruits like black currant, marasca cherry and blackberry. Magari shows a complex character without being brash. The nose is rich, it starts fresh and then develops into Mediterranean scrub and black tea notes. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins. This wine has a long-lasting and a very flavorful finish.

Ca’Marcanda, GAJA’s estate in Bolgheri (Alta Maremma), was born in 1996 propelled by Angelo Gaja’s ambition to challenge himself with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The search for the best terroir was possible thanks to the latest land zoning maps which pointed out the specific vine growing suitability of clayey-calcareous soils at the foot of the Metalliferous Hills. Eventually, the only land in that area not planted with vines was identified, and after several meetings with the previous owners, the negotiations successfully closed at the end of 1996. For this reason, the name Ca’Marcanda derives from a Piedmontese dialect expression which can be translated as the "The House of Endless Negotiations".

Ca'Marcanda presented a unique opportunity to cultivate vineyards and design a winery on entirely untouched land. Today, the Gaja family aims to produce wines that reflect the characteristics of Bolgheri: balanced by a middle structure, moderate alcohol, and a vibrant expression of freshness.
