You also pick up hints of spice, pepper, and a light herbal note that makes the nose fresh and exciting. On the palate, the wine feels soft and supple.

Each element of the wine works together to create a balanced and enjoyable experience.

Critical Acclaim

WS 93

Wine Spectator

Supple in texture and laced with black currant and black cherry fruit, this red is polished and approachable. Light herbal, graphite and tobacco accents add detail as this cruises to a firm conclusion. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

WA 93

Wine Advocate

Of the Ca' Marcanda estate's two headline red wines, this bottle is released earlier. The 2022 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. It shows lovely richness and a soft texture with a more accessible overall personality. That immediacy is reinforced in a hot vintage such as this. There are hints of interesting spiciness with laurel leaf, curry and dried blackcurrant. Indeed, the fruit starts to show some evolution. - Monica Larner

DEC 93

Decanter

Floral and lifted red fruit aromas are accompanied by plenty of black and white pepper and a hint of volatile acidity, which lead to a mouthful of silky tannins, fresh and dried cherries, and rich dark fruits. The finish is woody – a bit drying and chocolatey – and it needs more time for the oak to integrate. (Drink between 2025-2035)

JD 95

Jeb Dunnuck

Pouring a nearly opaque red hue, the medium to full-bodied 2022 Magari offers beautiful aromas of red apple, dark chocolate, and crushed flowers. Plush and refined on the palate, with a velvety texture and nuanced mineral underpinnings, it’s going to be a very graceful wine from this vintage. It won't be the most powerful red, but it offers a lot of finesse.

JS 95

James Suckling

Redcurrant, cherry and olive-leaf aromas follow through to a medium body with very fine, caressing tannins and a long, juicy finish. Lightly crunchy and chewy. Extremely well crafted and delicious already, but better in a couple of years. Drink or hold.

VIN 91

Vinous

The 2022 Magari is plump, juicy and very easy to like. Soft, silky contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, cedar, sweet spice and flowers. This easygoing Maremma red is best enjoyed over the next few years. I find it a bit light, especially in the mid-palate, but its balance is impeccable. -- Antonio Galloni
