Vintage Character Ca’Marcanda Promis 2022 is a vibrant Toscana IGT red blend that showcases the unique character of Tuscany’s coastal Maremma region. The 2022 vintage in coastal Tuscany was shaped by a warm, sunny growing season with timely rainfall, resulting in wines noted for their ripe fruit, supple tannins, and expressive aromatics.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Promis 2022 opens with alluring aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by subtle notes of licorice and violets. On the palate, this medium to full-bodied wine delivers a velvety texture and lively acidity, balancing its generous fruit core. Silky tannins provide structure, while Syrah contributes a touch of spice and Sangiovese imparts a savory, earthy nuance. The finish is smooth, persistent, and gently mineral, making it a versatile companion at the table. Enjoy it alongside roasted duck breast, Tuscan-style grilled sausages, or creamy Taleggio cheese for a memorable pairing.
Winery Background Established by the renowned Gaja family, Ca’Marcanda represents a bold vision for crafting world-class wines in Bolgheri’s Maremma zone. The estate’s name, meaning “house of endless negotiations,” alludes to the lengthy process through which Angelo Gaja acquired this exceptional property in the late 1990s. Ca’Marcanda’s vineyards are planted on a diverse mosaic of soils, including alluvial pebbles, clay, and limestone, which contribute to the complexity and elegance of their blends. The Gaja family is dedicated to meticulous vineyard management and a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the unique terroir and varietal character to shine. Promis exemplifies the estate’s approach, blending Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese to create a wine that harmoniously marries international flair with Tuscan tradition.
