The Promis di Ca' Marcanda Gaja was produced from Merlot (55%), Syrah (35%), and Sangiovese (10%) grapes grown in the area of Bolgheri in the province of Livorno. After the harvest, which was followed by a further and accurate selection of the bunches, the grapes were sent for vinification inspired by minimal intervention, just like the work in the vineyard. After the alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation phases, the Promis di Ca' Marcanda GajaPromis Toscana Rosso IGT 2017 by Ca' Marcanda Gaja was aged for 18 months in French oak barriques. This proud and elegant Tuscan red represents a real challenge - launched and won - by the king of Piedmontese Barbaresco, Angelo Gaja, who decided to bring his brand of excellence to another land with a very high viticultural vocation: Tuscany.

PROMIS CA' MARCANDA GAJA: THE TASTING

The Promis di Ca' Marcanda GajaPromis by Ca' Marcanda Gaja presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses aromas of marasca and ripe small red fruits of the forest that combine with timid balsamic hints and clear notes of black pepper and dark oriental spices. The taste is rich and enveloping, supported by a smooth tannic structure and a gentle freshness combined with an elegant mineral note that lingers in the finish. It pairs well with savory earthy recipes based on red meats or game at the table.
