Tasting notes
Bright and deep in colour, with elegant aromas of pollen and sweet spices. The roundness of Merlot and Syrah are complimented by the structure provided by the Sangiovese. This wine displays a beautiful harmony between bright acidity and defined tannins that give an excellent ageing potential of 8-10 years.

Promis IGP Toscana

Producer
This fine property, purchased by Angelo Gaja in 1996, now has 120 hectares of vineyard and a superb winery that combines simplicity, efficiency and architectural brilliance. While Gaja has shown with ‘Darmagi’ that he can make great Cabernet Sauvignon in the Langhe, he was compelled to try to compete with some of the great names of Italian wine when he arrived in Bolgheri just over 20 years ago. The winery and its vineyards are situated just south of Poggio al Tesoro and Ornellaia.
Vineyards
In 1996 Gaja acquired several plots of land in Bolgheri, for a total of 120 hectares. Vineyards are located at five km from the coast, so they enjoy the cooling influence of the sea-breeze and the light – reflection from the sea makes this one of the most luminous winegrowing areas in Italy. Here soils span from the sandy soils closer to the coast, to limestone soils closer to the hills inland. The grapes for Promis come from darker soils, rich in clay and limestone, near the town of Bibbona. The vines were all planted in 1996.
Vinification
The grapes were handed with particular care and with an extremely soft pressing of the bunches, helping to shorten the maceration process. The three varieties ferment and macerate separately for around 15 days. After 12 months in oak, they are blended and then aged for several months in the bottle before release.
