Merchant's description

Ca`Marcanda was established in Bolgheri in 1996 and represented Angelo Gaja`s desire to produce world-class wines using Bordeaux varieties. Made from an assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and matured in for 18 months in fine French oak barrels. "Very typical for the region of Bolgheri, showing fresh and dried herbs, from sage to mint, with currants and dark berries. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and very attractive length and energy." James Suckling, 2021
