Description
Promis is a signature blend from Ca' Marcanda, the Gaja family's progressive estate in Bolgheri. Combining Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese, Promis reflects both Tuscan heritage and Bordeaux-inspired sophistication. The grapes are harvested from well-drained, mineral-rich soils, then vinified separately in stainless steel before blending and ageing for about 12 months in French oak barriques. The result is a wine of remarkable depth and finesse: dark ruby in colour, with a bouquet of blackberry, blueberry, violet, Mediterranean herbs and sweet spice. On the palate, Promis is medium-full-bodied with polished tannins, ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and a persistent finish that echoes cocoa and rosemary. The wine's harmonious profile and structure make it ideal for pairing with grilled meats, game, or earthy pasta dishes. Promis demonstrates the expressive power and elegance of contemporary Tuscan blends, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
