About This Wine

Gaja

Ca'Marcanda Promis Red

The proprietary name Promis (pronounced proh-MEESS) was created by the Gaja family to denote commitment, expectation, fulfillment, and hope. The promise of quality and the reward of diligence and excellence. The grapes are grown in the terre brune (rich, dark soils), which consist primarily of loam and clay. The climate — hot summer days, freshened by brisk sea air and cool nights — is ideal for the grapes grown in the region. 2017 is a vintage of overall concentration of fruit, structure, and acidity. The wine is a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese with a bright and deep garnet color, juicy red fruits, and creamy tannins.

Wine Region

Tuscany / Toscana

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Smoke tasting note. Smoke
  • A figure representing the Strawberry tasting note. Strawberry
  • A figure representing the Raspberry tasting note. Raspberry

The palate is fresh and juicy, with notes of red and black fruits — raspberry, wild strawberry, and mulberry. Creamy, firm tannins. The finish is sapid with a smoky and spicy character. With its notes of rosemary, wild fennel, embers, the 2017 Promis perfectly mirrors the Mediterranean scrubland of which it is surrounded. The nose opens with subtle, elegant, and concentrated hints of dried flowers, pollen, and sweet spices.
