Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon. Tiefes Purpur, Granatschimmer am Rand. Offenes, ausladendes Bouquet, zeigt sich recht zugänglich, dunkle Edelhölzer, eher klassischer Ansatz mit einem warmen Kaffeeschimmer im Untergrund. Ausgewogener Gaumen, schwarze Pfefferkörner auf der Zunge zeigend, langes Finale. Preis. Genial vinifiziert, aber das ist man sich ja bei diesem Hause (Gaja) gewohnt. 18/20 trinken – 2026

The 2011 Magari IGT is a soft and savory wine that boasts dark extraction and a high degree of aromatic intensity. Lush cherry and blackberry emerge from this blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. You feel a point of alcoholic heat that is in line with the warm 2011 vintage, that extra power folds nicely within the broad texture of the mouthfeel.<br/><br/>Angelo Gaja’s Ca’Marcanda estate has hit its stride with this latest set of wines. His management of the 2011 heat is impressive, resulting in wines with power and finesse. Ca’Marcanda never seems to get the attention it deserves, and the wines are indeed pricy. Nonetheless, they are among the finest expressions on the Tuscan coast.

A deep, rich version, with the plum, black cherry, vanilla and toast flavors aligned with a dense texture and refined tannins. Long and harmonious, this should benefit from additional time in the bottle. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2015 through 2022. 5,000 cases made.
Producer
Ca' Marcanda - Gaja
As the Gaja family’s second Tuscan property, situated along Italy’s coast in Bolgheri, Ca'Marcanda was purchased just two years after their Montalcino estate in 1996. Due to the ceaseless discussions that led up to this acquisition, the estate has been named, Ca’Marcanda - the house of endless negotiations. Inspired by the Piedmontese dialect, ca’ meaning casa or house, and marcandè meaning mercanteggiare or to haggle. At the beginning, the family established the house with the intentions of bringing fundamental organic practices to the region’s land and viticulture. Today, the property is one of the country’s finest producers. The signature Gaja flair now thrives in the Bolgheri landscape. The quality-driven philosophy here extends from their sixty-hectares of vineyards to their uniquely styled wines. Promis, a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend incorporates exactly this - the family’s commitment, promise, and fulfillment of excellence. In the same spirit, the winery’s top wine, Camarcanda is produced resulting in a dense, richly fruited complex blend that lingers on the palate.
