Gaja is a renowned Italian wine producer that has been crafting exceptional wines for over 150 years. The Gaja family has been producing wines in the Piedmont region of Italy since the 1850s, and their wines have become synonymous with quality and elegance.

One of their most popular wines is the Gaja Promis, which is a blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Sangiovese grapes. This wine is classified as a Toscana IGT, which means that it is made from grapes grown in the Tuscany region of Italy, but it does not adhere to the strict regulations of the Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino DOCG classifications.

The Gaja Promis is a medium-bodied wine that is known for its rich, complex flavors and aromas. On the nose, this wine offers notes of black cherry, blackberry, and spice, while on the palate, it is full of dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry. The tannins in this wine are firm but well-integrated, giving it a smooth, velvety texture.

The style of production for the Gaja Promis is one that is focused on quality and attention to detail. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure that only the best fruit is used in the wine. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, which gives it a subtle hint of vanilla and spice.

Overall, the Gaja Promis is a wine that is perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life. It is a wine that is meant to be savored and enjoyed slowly, as each sip reveals new layers of complexity and depth. Whether you are a seasoned wine connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of wine, the Gaja Promis is a wine that is sure to impress.

Aromas of underbrush, cut grass, Mediterranean scrub, red currant and spice take center stage along with a hint of menthol. The soft approachable palate offers blackberry, black currant, star anise, vanilla and white pepper alongside bright acidity and supple tannins.

The Gaja family settled in Piedmont in the mid-seventeenth century. Five generations of Gaja’s have been producing wines in the Langhe hills since 1989, the year Giovanni Gaja, a local grape grower, founded the Gaja winery in Barbaresco.

Following years of dedication to uncompromising quality, the wines achieved a leadership position in Italy and the family was able to purchase vineyard holdings acquiring Sorì Tildìn, Costa Russi, Sorì San Lorenzo and Darmagi.

Angelo Gaja took over the family business in 1961 and combined his respect for the traditions of the Langhe with bold innovations in the vineyards and cellars which changed the way that wines were produced all over Italy.

Angelo lives in Barbaresco with his wife Lucia and their three children, Gaia, Rossana and Giovanni who represent the fifth generation of the family and are all involved in the business.

Today the winery owns 96 ha of vineyards in Barbaresco and Barolo. In 1994, the Gajas acquired their first estate in Tuscany, Pieve Santa Restituta in Montalcino. In 1996 the family purchased their second Tuscan property, Ca’ Marcanda in Bogheri.

Italy's most ancient wine region, Tuscany may not be a heavyweight in terms of quantity, but as the home of two of the country's most famous fine wines – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino – it certainly holds its own in terms of quality. Tuscany's climate ranges from Mediterranean on the coast to continental deep in the Apennines. More than two thirds of the province is covered with hills, an important terroir factor in its fine wines.
