Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana IGT 2023 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from vineyards along Tuscany’s coastal Maremma, Promis reflects the distinctive character of Bolgheri and the surrounding region, where Mediterranean sunshine is moderated by cooling sea breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The area's clay, limestone, and mineral-rich soils provide both structure and freshness, allowing international varieties and Sangiovese to achieve full ripeness while maintaining balance and energy. The 2023 vintage highlights the vibrancy and accessibility that have made Promis one of the benchmark reds of coastal Tuscany.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
A blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese, Promis is crafted to showcase the harmony between Tuscan character and international varieties. Fermentation and aging are carried out with Gaja’s meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing purity of fruit, supple texture, and seamless integration. While approachable in its youth, the wine retains the structure and complexity expected from the Ca’Marcanda estate.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the 2023 opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, and violets accented by hints of Mediterranean herbs, licorice, and sweet spice. The palate is generous and polished, offering ripe dark fruit supported by silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Notes of cocoa, crushed herbs, and subtle earth emerge through the mid-palate, leading to a smooth, persistent finish that balances richness with freshness.

Food Pairing & Service
A versatile Tuscan red, Promis pairs beautifully with grilled meats, pasta with ragù, roasted pork, wood-fired pizza, and aged cheeses. Its combination of fruit and savory character also makes it an excellent companion to herb-driven Mediterranean dishes. Serve slightly below room temperature and consider a short decant before serving.

Cellaring Potential
Designed to be enjoyed both young and with moderate age, the 2023 will drink beautifully over the next 5–8 years. As it evolves, expect additional notes of leather, dried herbs, and spice to complement its core of vibrant fruit and polished structure.
