2011

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 the terre brune (rich, dark soils) which consist 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. 2016 was a fulfilling vintage. Embracing, structured, voluptuous and lively.

The 2014 vintage was an overall small crop due to the challenge of a very cool and rainy year. However, the wine is pleasing, expressing intense and mineral flavors.

Wine Notes
Color
Bright and lively purple
Aroma
Sweet notes of blackberry and black cherry, followed by typical Syrah spiciness – notably cinnamon, black pepper and clove.
Taste
The Merlot core of the wine is open and fulfilling, lightened by the juiciness from Sangiovese. The finish is remarkably fresh, with notes of moist earth, fresh-cut grass and roots.

Wine Notes
Color

Aroma
Bright and fruity with a jammy nose.
Taste
A delightful wine that combines the elegance and suppleness of Merlot and Syrah with the austerity of Sangiovese. Balanced, almost musical, it's a pleasure to drink from an early age and also has an aging potential of 5-8 years.
