Gaja
The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859 he founded the Gaja Winery producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Ever since the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand notably that of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo's direction the the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to world-class esteem.
Description
The Promis is medium-bodied, quite forward in style and very well balanced. Copius amounts of blue and red stone fruits are evident on the nose with aeration. This is a silky, Merlot/Syrah-based wine with a fine understated presence on the palate. There are floral and spice notes adding to the complexity with a satisfying creamy finish. This is a beautiful, gracious style of wine from Tuscany's Maremma.
Food Pairing
We suggest to serve it at 19° C. Good with red and white meats, pork, poultry and aged cheeses.
