Magari means, "if only it were true!" – an expression used often in Italian to express desire, hope, and a vision of a bright future.

Color : Bright and deep color.
Aroma : Rich and complex with appealing notes of carob and tamarind
Taste : Vibrant with notes of grapefruit, red orange and Mediterranean botanical herbs. Extremely juicy with fine-grained, silky tannins with a long-lasting, sapid finish.

This wine is released before the Camarcanda blend. Angelo Gaja and his family have worked this vintage with a deft hand. This hot 2017 growing conditions have been harnessed for their positive attributes, such as the thickness and the dark concentration of the fruit and, consequently, the wine's freshness. Any negative implications have been absolutely eliminated and worked through. Nothing escapes Angelo's watchful eye. The 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Some 78,000 bottles were produced.

This is a pure, focused Bolgheri with bright blueberries, freshly picked blackcurrants and citrus. All the more impressively in this hot vintage, the tannins are very tightly strung, fine and grainy, while the finish is medium-long and vivacious. Great drive and composure to this medium-to full-bodied red. Drink from 2021.

There is purity to this red, from the focused black cherry, black currant and wild herb flavors to the vibrant acidity and refined tannins. This is sleek and elegant, with a light chalky feel on the finish. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2035. 1,800 cases imported. — BS
