Hello Hungary. Think Huet Chenin Blanc minus a few tics of complexity- but not that much. Thick mouthfeel, white blossoms & peaches on nose, more on palate with a lovely spine of acidity. Furmint has arrived. Damn. Oh and about 20$. — 5 years ago

Mmmm! Great Hungarian white! I made chicken paprikash for Christmas Eve in honor of my late grandparents, and this was the perfect complement. It cut through the richness of the dish just like the lemon sour cream I put on top. Made for a beautiful meal. 🎄✨ — 8 years ago

Hungarian Merlot, Cab Sauv and Kekfrankos blend. A real powerhouse with quite some tannins. Good wine, but I hope more improvement with further cellaring — 6 months ago

Fantastic bottle of wine we stumbled upon in Györ, Hungary. Light bodied, some acid, pairs beautifully with Hungarian goulash. — 2 years ago

Bruised apple and honey. Hard for me to avoid the chenin comparison. Very interesting and unique. Lacks some elegance and length but I’d highly recommend checking it out — 8 years ago

Caiarossa – “Pergolaia” Red blend– 2020
IGT Toscana – Riparbella, Alta Maremma – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A biodynamically farmed Super Tuscan red built around Sangiovese as the core, blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Pergolaia is Caiarossa’s most approachable expression, combining Mediterranean warmth with coastal freshness.

Aromas & Flavors
Red cherries, dried cranberry, tobacco leaf, and baking spices with hints of plum, cedar, and faint herbal tones. A mix of earthy Tuscan soul and dark-fruit Bordeaux flair.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, supple, and structured with polished tannins and lively acidity. Balanced, savory, and elegant rather than opulent. The finish is clean with a gentle mineral echo.

Food Pairings
Pasta al ragù, roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, aged pecorino, or grilled sausages with herbs.

Verdict
A smart, quietly refined Tuscan blend, accessible yet serious, with the coastal lift that makes Caiarossa wines so compelling. A great value when you want nuance, not weight.

Did You Know?
Caiarossa farms according to Demeter-certified biodynamic principles, and their vineyards sit on a mix of clay, silt, and volcanic rock, a key reason for the signature mineral tension in their wines. — 7 months ago
