2021 Gaja Ca Marcanda Promis Bolgheri

55% Merlot

35% Syrah

10% Sangiovese

The proprietary name Promis (pronounced proh-MEESS) was created by the Gaja family to denote commitment, expectation, fulfillment, and hope. The promise of quality and the reward of diligence and excellence. The grapes are grown in Bolgheri and in the neighboring area of Bibbona planted on the terre brune (rich, dark soils) which consist primarily of lime and clay. The climate - hot summer days, freshened by brisk sea air and cool nights - is ideal for the grapes grown here.
