Gaja
Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana Sangiovese Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Monday evening and tonight I have opened the 2017 Gaja Ca' Marcanda Promis Toscana. This is a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese from Castagneto Carducci in Tuscany, Italy.
On the nose there is raspberry, strawberry, plum, there is a savory gamey component, baking spices, licorice, pepper, clay and earth.
On the palate I am getting cherry, raspberry, red currant, licorice, herbs, lavander, graphite and earth.
This wine is medium to full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + firm sandy tannins that has a long fresh red and black fruit finish. The week ahead looks like it is going to be a fantastic week and I am looking forward to it being full of wonderful fall beginnings. Have a great week, please be safe and stay healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Well.... I’m an idiot. I opened this way to early, but was so curious. It’s a bit closed at the moment (not surprisingly at its age), olive tapenade, dried herbs, plum, dusty minerality, chalk, vanilla, big tannins and noticeable alcohol. Again, my bad for not waiting, will be awesome.

We had this in Bologna with Antonio at restaurant Diana . Medium body very smooth cherry and chocolate. It needs to breath for a bit before drinking
