PROMIS

The proprietary name Promis (pronounced proh-MEESS) was created by the Gaja family to denote commitment, expectation, fulfillment, and hope.

The climate – hot summer days, freshened by brisk sea air and cool nights – is ideal for the grapes grown here.

Soil: Loam- and clay-rich terre brune, brown soils.
Tasting notes: A delightful wine that combines elegance and suppleness of Merlot and Syrah with the austerity of Sangiovese. Balanced and approachable in its youth with considerable aging potential (5-8 years).
VISTAMARE

The playful name of this wine was inspired by the sea breeze, sun, and cheerful and light-hearted outlook of the Tuscan coast.
The term means sea view and is often used by the coastal hoteliers to entice would-be guests, even though their rooms may only offer a limited view of the Mediterranean.
The vineyards used for Vistamare actually enjoy a panoramic view of the Tuscan horizon and their grapes are gently inebriated by the saltine air and brilliant colors of the Tuscan sea.
Appellation: Toscana IGT
Varieties: Vermentino and Viognier
Vineyards: Various estate-owned sites
Vinification: The varieties are fermented separately. Before being blended together Vermentino ages in stainless steel tanks, Viognier instead in oak casks for 6 months.
Tasting notes: The freshness of Vermentino embraces the roundness of Viognier.
First vintage produced: 2009
