About Our Ratings

Gaja 2008 Promis, Ca' Macanda, Toscana IGT
Along the Tuscan seaboard extending south from Livorno lies the Maremma. For centuries a marshland, it has established itself over the last quarter century as one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions. It is in this region that Angelo Gaja has begun his new winemaking venture. In 1996, along the road between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, Gaja began planting 150 acres of vineyards, primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but also Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Wine Spectator scored it 90 points and said "Bursting with pure, sweet blackberry, black cherry and spice flavors, this is not overoaked, offering a vibrant structure, with firm tannins on the finish and nice length. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2016"

    Comments about Gaja 2008 Promis, Ca' Macanda, Toscana IGT:

    This is just an absolutely regal and delicious blend that is showing well now after just a few yeas of bottle age. Black fruits are hitting center stage and the texture is smooth and velvety. A real special wine to splurge on!
