Celebrating 30 Years of Ca' Marcanda & the Rise of Idda on Mount Etna

Milsons Point - 11th November 2026

Le Pont Wine Store - Milsons Point
  • “Excellence can be found where no one is looking yet.” — Angelo Gaja

     

    An intimate tasting with Francesco Giardino, Export Sales Manager, Gaja

     

    Thirty years ago, Angelo Gaja left his beloved Barbaresco for a little-known stretch of the Tuscan coast. Bolgheri had fewer than ten wineries then, and the land took almost two years of negotiation to buy, which is how Ca’ Marcanda, the “house of endless negotiations”, got its name. Three decades later, it is one of the finest addresses in Italian wine.



    Now the family is looking somewhere new again: the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, where Idda, their partnership with the Graci family, is crafting wines of place with real energy and character.

    Join Francesco Giardino, Gaja’s Export Sales Manager, to mark the 30th anniversary of Ca’ Marcanda. This will be a tasting across both estates, showcasing Idda’s superb bianco and the range from Ca’ Marcanda, culminating in a tasting of two recent vintages of the flagship Camarcanda.

     

    The Ticket includes a $50 voucher to spend in store on the night


    We hope you can join us.
