Critic Scores

95 // James Suckling

"Redcurrant, cherry and olive-leaf aromas follow through to a medium body with very fine, caressing tannins and a long, juicy finish. Lightly crunchy and chewy. Extremely well crafted and delicious already, but better in a couple of years."

93 // Monica Larner

"Of the Ca' Marcanda estate's two headline red wines, this bottle is released earlier. The 2022 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. It shows lovely richness and a soft texture with a more accessible overall personality. That immediacy is reinforced in a hot vintage such as this. There are hints of interesting spiciness with laurel leaf, curry and dried blackcurrant. Indeed, the fruit starts to show some evolution."

93 // Decanter

"Floral and lifted red fruit aromas are accompanied by plenty of black and white pepper and a hint of volatile acidity, which lead to a mouthful of silky tannins, fresh and dried cherries, and rich dark fruits. The finish is woody a bit drying and chocolatey and it needs more time for the oak to integrate. (James Button)"

93 // Bruce Sanderson

"Supple in texture and laced with black currant and black cherry fruit, this red is polished and approachable. Light herbal, graphite and tobacco accents add detail as this cruises to a firm conclusion."

91 // Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Magari is plump, juicy and very easy to like. Soft, silky contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, cedar, sweet spice and flowers. This easygoing Maremma red is best enjoyed over the next few years. I find it a bit light, especially in the mid-palate, but its balance is impeccable."

Description

Magari is the flagship Bordeaux blend of Ca' Marcanda, exemplifying the unique potential of Bolgheri's coastal terroir under the guidance of the Gaja family. Sourced from meticulously farmed vineyards on clay and limestone soils, the blend combines Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, each contributing structure, aromatic complexity and depth. After hand harvest and fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures for up to 18 months in French oak barriques, integrating fine tannins and enhancing longevity. In the glass, Magari is intensely coloured, with pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, Mediterranean herbs and subtle tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and structured, featuring layers of black fruit, licorice, balsamic notes and a firm, savoury backbone. The persistent finish and vibrant acidity underscore the wine's ageing potential. Magari pairs well with roasted meats, grilled steak or hearty vegetable dishes, and embodies the refinement and innovation of modern Bolgheri wines.
