Magari Bolgheri DOC - Ca'Marcanda

The Magari Bolgheri from Ca'Marcanda in Tuscany presents a dense, purple-red color in the glass. If you give it a little air by swirling, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in church windows on the edge of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World offers wonderfully expressive aromas of blackcurrant, damson, morello cherry and blackberry, rounded off with other fruity nuances.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine from the Icon wine segment, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily need sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense on the palate. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region finally delights with good length. There are again hints of black cherry and plum. Mineral notes from the clay-dominated soils are added in the finish.

Vinification of Ca'Marcanda Magari Bolgheri

The basis for the powerful Magari Bolgheri from Tuscany are grapes from the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Tuscany. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into clay soils. Magari Bolgheri is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The ripening of the grapes for this wine made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is influenced to a considerable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Tuscany, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high must weight. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation.
