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.
