Merchant's description

Angelo Gaja purchased the Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri 1996. The phenomenal 2015 release is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc that is rich and concentrated but displays exceptional precision and clarity. It has superb fruit delineation, fine-grained tannins, firm structure and remarkable ageing potential.
