2023 Gaja’s Ca Marcanda Promis 750ML

2023 Gaja’s Ca Marcanda Promis

Promis by Ca’ Marcanda Gaja is produced with a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese, the name ”Promis” was created by the Gaja family to indicate commitment, expectation, satisfaction and hope. The promise of quality and the reward of diligence and excellence. The grapes are grown in brown soil (rich and dark soils) which consists mainly of clay and sand. The climate, warm summer days, refreshed by sea air and cool nights, is ideal for the grapes grown. A delicious wine that combines elegance and flexibility of Merlot and Syrah with the austerity of Sangiovese. Balanced and accessible in its youth with considerable aging potential.

On the nose, it reveals a captivating and layered profile, with spicy notes evoking a mix of black pepper and cloves, enriched by fresh hints of red cherry and crunchy rhubarb. The presence of roasted coffee adds a deep and enveloping dimension. On the palate, the wine presents itself as austere, with a less concentrated tannic structure that makes it accessible and enjoyable. The fruity freshness blends with the spices detected on the nose, creating an interesting balance. The aftertaste reveals a slight smoky note, adding complexity and a persistent finish.

From Gaja’s magnificent Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri, the 2023 “Promis” is a vibrant and wonderfully polished Super Tuscan. A blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese, this wine showcases the classic elegance and freshness of the 2023 vintage. The nose is aromatic and inviting, with notes of fresh red cherry, raspberry, and a hint of violet, layered with subtle notes of spice and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and graceful, with a core of juicy, pure fruit supported by silky, fine-grained tannins and a bright, balancing acidity. The finish is long, clean, and harmonious. A stylish and versatile red that offers both immediate pleasure and classic Gaja finesse.
