Merchant's description

Ca` Marcanda Gaja 2016 is a Bolgheri Rosso blend featuring 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. This wine reflects the diverse terroir of the Bolgheri region, characterised by its sandy and clay-rich soils, which influence the wine`s structure and profile. The 2016 vintage displays a firm structure, with pronounced tannins that gradually soften with time. The palate is marked by flavours of dark fruit, herbs and subtle spice. Founded by Angelo Gaja, the estate focuses on integrating modern techniques while respecting traditional methods, enhancing the expression of its renowned vineyards.
