Gaja Ca' Marcanda Promis 2021 Toscana - Italy

Cépages: 55% Merlot - 35% Syrah - 10% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes: Coming from a classic, Bolgheri vintage, Promis shows a bright, ruby-red color. The nose has hints of spice such as cinnamon and star anise along with pronounced red fruits like strawberry and black cherry. The tannins are juicy and persistent all culminating in a salinity that is a classic hallmark of good vintages in Bolgheri. 

From The Winery: The name reminds of the Italian word "promessa", that means promise. A promise, exactly as an up-and-comer that, with its young and bold character, brings along a fresh breeze of liveliness and zest. It recalls, as well, the Gaja’s family commitment meant to start a valuable project in Tuscany. 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese. Mainly from the Castagneto Carducci area, planted on dark soils rich in clay and loam. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and barrels. The elegance and roundness of Merlot and Syrah match with the essential rigor of Sangiovese. Harmonious and enjoyable wine from the very beginning, with an ageing potential of 8-10 years.
