Ca’ Marcanda is the prestigious winery of the Gaja family, located in the heart of Bolgheri, Tuscany. Founded in 1996, the estate covers over 80 hectares of vineyards within the protected Bolgheri DOC area. From the very beginning, the vision was clear: to create a winery in harmony with nature. For this reason, the structure was built underground, preserving the natural beauty of the landscape. The façade was covered with stones unearthed during the vineyard’s preparation, and the surroundings were enriched with native vegetation, including 350 centuries-old olive trees.
Promis
