There is a lovely delicateness and softness to the 2016 Promis. The IGT appellation used here reflects fruit (a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese) sourced from Bibbona. The Promis has always seen Merlot in a leading role. This is a full and complete wine with nice roundness and bright freshness on the close. It is the most immediate and food friendly of these offerings from Ca'Marcanda.

Black currant, blackberry, herb, mineral and tobacco notes ply this firm, intense and sinewy red. The taut profile and compact structure persist on the long finish. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Best from 2021 through 2030. 3,400 cases imported. 
Producer
Ca' Marcanda - Gaja
As the Gaja family’s second Tuscan property, situated along Italy’s coast in Bolgheri, Ca'Marcanda was purchased just two years after their Montalcino estate in 1996. Due to the ceaseless discussions that led up to this acquisition, the estate has been named, Ca’Marcanda - the house of endless negotiations. Inspired by the Piedmontese dialect, ca’ meaning casa or house, and marcandè meaning mercanteggiare or to haggle. At the beginning, the family established the house with the intentions of bringing fundamental organic practices to the region’s land and viticulture. Today, the property is one of the country’s finest producers. The signature Gaja flair now thrives in the Bolgheri landscape. The quality-driven philosophy here extends from their sixty-hectares of vineyards to their uniquely styled wines. Promis, a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend incorporates exactly this - the family’s commitment, promise, and fulfillment of excellence. In the same spirit, the winery’s top wine, Camarcanda is produced resulting in a dense, richly fruited complex blend that lingers on the palate.
