Tasting Notes

Best ever from here. This is a wine that is sexy and caressing with polished and very fine tannins. Full body, with cool and bright fruit and a long currant, mint and mineral aftertaste. Very fine indeed. A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Petit Verdot, and Syrah.

The 2009 Caiarossa (Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Alicante) delivers a surprisingly focused bouquet despite the motley assembly of grapes used in the blend. The wine shows a darkly concentrated appearance with sweet tones of ripe cherry and baking spice. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.

Caiarossa is a dynamic estate located in the Val di Cecina, in coastal Tuscany. It was among the first properties in the area to embrace biodynamic winemaking.
