Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis 2002 750ml

Angelo Gaja, the Barbaresco legend, expanded to Tuscany's Bolgheri coast in 1996 with Ca'Marcanda, an estate whose name refers to the long negotiations it took to buy the land. Promis blends Merlot and Syrah with Sangiovese, combining supple fruit with the firmer, savory backbone of Tuscany's signature grape. The vines grow in dark loam and clay soils, with hot summer days cooled by sea breezes and chilly nights. The 2002 vintage was cool and rainy across Tuscany, producing lighter, earlier-maturing wines. Expect red cherry, plum, dried herbs and earthy notes in a medium-bodied, elegant style. Designed to be enjoyed relatively young, it is now fully mature and should be opened soon.
