My name is Promessa Sangiovese. The Promessa family comes from Puglia, Italy (the heel of the boot). We have lived here for centuries always making deep colored robust wines. Some of my cousins migrated to Tuscany a little over century ago. They changed their name to Chianti and set about making their own wine... Now they are all living in fancy villas. Maybe I should have gone too, but when you've got "roots" it's not all that easy. Take my word for it: A PROMESSA is meant to be kept, but I was made to be enjoyed now. Salute! (I hereby attest that this wine's story was recorded verbatim as told by the bottle to the winemaker).
