Ca' Marcanda Bolgheri 22 750ML
The name Ca'Marcanda derives from a Piedmontese dialect expression which can be translated as the "house of endless negotiations" and refers to the several meetings between the previous landowners and Angelo Gaja, a very long negotiation finally concluded in 1996 with the land purchase. This is the wine that takes the name from the Estate, representing the pinnacle of the production for the Gaja family in Bolgheri.
Ruby red in color with garnet shades. The nose is generous with intense aromas of aromatic herbs, cinnamon, myrtle and graphite. On the palate is fruit driven with evident notes of cherry, raspberry and blood orange (Tarocco). The fine-grained tannins balance the acidity and lead to a wine with a considerable volume on the palate. The finish is lingering and elegantly saline.
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".

For this reason, the name Ca’Marcanda is derive from a Piedmontese dialect expression which can be translated as "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.
