- Magari 2016, Gaja
Magari is an Italian word with several meanings: if only, would that it were true, perhaps. It was chosen because it contains a touch of irony, putting a smile on one's face and helping to create a good mood.
While hard work and great determination have been dedicated to the Ca'Marcanda project, the name Magari reflects the Piedmontese way of not trumpetin's accomplishments. Lush Merlot fruit and spicy Cabernet aromas: black currants with a touch of fresh mint and a hint of coffee.
Grape Variety/Varieties: 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc Separate for the three varieties, which are blended in the January or February after the harvest. The wine ages in new and slightly used barriques for a period of 18 months and undergoes no less than six months of bottle ageing before it is shipped.

Gaja
The Gaja Winery was founded by Giovanni Gaja in 1859 and has been owned and operated by four generations of the Gaja family. Giovanni Gaja was the great-grandfather of Angelo Gaja, the Winery's current owner. In 1994 Gaja acquired its first wine estate in Tuscany, Pieve Santa Restituta in Montalcino. The property's forty acres of vineyards produce two Brunello di Montalcino wines called Sugarille and Rennina. In 1996 Gaja acquired a second property in Tuscany, Ca'Marcanda, located in Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri. Of the property's 200 acres, 150 have been planted with new vineyards: primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Currently, the Gaja Winery owns 250 acres of vineyards in Piedmont, located in the Barbaresco district (Barbaresco and Treiso) and the Barolo district (Serralunga d'Alba and La Morra). Since its inception, the Gaja Winery has continuously evolved in ways that have always focused on meticulous care of and attention to the quality of its wines.
