2009 Gaja Ca'marcanda Promis IGT Toscana 0,75lt.
A delightful wine that combines the elegance and suppleness of Merlot and Syrah with the austerity of Sangiovese. Balanced, almost musical, its a pleasure to drink from an early age. Promis- an abbreviation of the Latin word for promise, "promissio"- truly lives up to its name.
90 POINTS CELLAR TRACKER
92 POINTS VINOUS
The vineyards are known for their loam and clay "terre brune" soils, hot summer days and brisk coastal nights. The 2009 Promis is a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese that come together in perfect harmony, already providing a sophisticated drink that will continue to evolve over the next decade. Praise for the winery from Wine Advocate: "Ca’ Marcanda is a utopian vision of winemaking contemplated and realized solely by Angelo."
The grapes are grown in the terre brune (rich, dark soils) of GAJA's Ca'Marcanda vineyard. The soil consists primarily of loam and clay. The climate- hot summer days, freshened by brisk sea air and cool nights- is ideal for the grapes grown here.
Angelo Gaja's Ca' Marcanda estate, purchased in 1996, is located in the Castagneto Carducci Commune of Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast.
