Complex and layered, based on chamomile and Scotch broom, followed by pink grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Intensely fragrant with hints of peach, apricot, and cantaloupe. The fresh and herbaceous notes of Vermentino combine with the remarkable complexity and roundness of Viognier. Fiano adds a floral and balsamic note to the bouquet. The nose is generous with peach, apricot, sage, and marine notes, revealing a fresh, rounded, and lingering taste in the mouth

Ca’Marcanda was purchased by Angelo Gaja in 1996. The name "Ca'Marcanda" is derived from the Piedmontese dialect and means "house of endless negotiations” due what was apparently a lengthy period of meetings to finalise the purchase from the previous owners. The site was uncultivated when the Gaja’s purchased the site, formerly used for cattle breeding and fruit orchards and was the only site in this much sorted after area that had yet to be propagated with vines on these clayey-calcareous soils at the foot of the Metalliferous Hills. The Ca’Marcanda estate is planted with over 120 hectares split between the original plantings in 1996 in Bolgheri (69 hectares) and a further 48 hectares in neighbouring Bibbona. The label itself represents the road named ‘Bolgheri Boulevard’, a road lined by 2500 cypresses. The white triangles represent the sky and the road with the coloured parts are the famous trees themselves
