Carbone at Aria — 3 years ago
Aria Di Caiarossa Toscana Rosso IGT 2012: Elegant structure. Tremendous balance & harmony. Great flavor characteristics of red fruits, dark fruits, rose hip, spice & eucalyptus. This is a Tuscan red blend of exceptional quality (& value) featuring Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Alicante, Cabernet Sauvignon & Petit Verdot. Moreover, each grape varietal shines thru producing an unforgettable final blend with a smooth & addictive finish. Glad I still have one more bottle! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
Dark garnet purple with color almost to the rim. Abundant nose of black cherry, brown spices, and cedar. Full-bodied palate echoes the nose adding red apple peel and a bit of black pepper back palate. Juicy medium plus minus acidity and oh so fine tannins that only assert just before the medium long finish place this squarely in the "fine dining food wine" category, though a snack of semi-hard cheeses and charcuterie will fare quite well. Caiarossa's "second wine" gives an experience right up there with the big boys of Super Toscana at a reasonable price. Take it to any dinner from now through 2030. — 2 years ago

Wine with pizza at Five-50 at Aria for Kenzie’s b-day. Excellent wine and extraordinary for the price. Perfect for pizza. — 5 years ago
Aged well. Subtle complexities and well balanced. Would drink again. — 2 years ago
Dark ruby. Voluptuous nose of black cherry and black cranberry. Medium full palate of black cherry/cranberry cobbler. Fine medium plus tannins and medium acidity assert from entry but don’t overpower. Incredible balance. Medium finish. An introductory Toscana that checks off all the boxes and prepares one for Caiarossa’s premium offerings with aplomb. Drink now through 2026 when you can hit the Aria. — 3 years ago

Nose: white flowers. As this open lemon oil. Gorgeous. Really beautiful.
Palate: elegant hints of peach. Mineral. So fresh. Delicious. So juicy. You just want to drink this. As this opens a pleasant and ephemeral richness. Not so much that it’s a rich wine. But enough that it’s a serious wine. So delicious and elegantly rich.
Long long finish.
One of the best value white wines in the world. Should be $100+. Wow.
