Caiarossa means biodynamic viticulture in the south of Tuscany. And with a rather unusual mix of no fewer than seven different grape varieties, even for super Tuscans. 26% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Franc and 23% Merlot. The remaining quarter is made up of 14 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Petit Verdot, 4 % Sangiovese and 2 % Grenache. The proportions are similar to those of the southern Rhone, one might think - but the ageing in barriques reveals the first difference to the Rhone. And although the flavours are highly complex, they are also quite unique: A potpourri of red and black fruits, lots of spice - cinnamon, a hint of clove, white pepper. Plus cocoa powder and nougat and the finest round tannins. A super Tuscan like no other...

The Caiarossa winery is located in the southernmost part of the province of Pisa, in the municipality of Riparbella near the Tyrrhenian Sea. This part of Tuscany around the Val di Cecina is considered a stronghold of wine art and seems almost undiscovered compared to the big tourist hotspots.
