Estate History and Heritage

Angelo Gaja invested in the Bolgheri region in 1996, bringing his uncompromising standard of winemaking excellence from Barbaresco. Specifically, he designed Ca’Marcanda to harness the unique dual soils of stony limestone and dark clay. Moreover, Gaja’s approach emphasized aromatic lift and textural refinement over brute power.

Today, Ca’Marcanda stands as an essential pillar of Bolgheri’s international prestige. As a result, this 2004 vintage delivers collectors a rare, beautifully matured portrait of Angelo Gaja’s Tuscan vision.
