Caiarossa
Pergolaia Toscana Sangiovese Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Dark ruby with dark purple red core. Black cherry Kuchen and terra cotta dominate the nose and medium palate. Juicy medium plus acidity. Fine, medium plus tannins bat cleanup. What's not to love about Caiarossa's entry-level red? Everything you want in a Toscana at this price point. Great with food (I'm having penne with sausage… you can try a southwestern steak with a baked potato), and a tasty autumn sipper all with enough "stuff" to lay down for a short while. Drink now through 2030. Preferably now.

Oct 29th, 2022Dark 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.

May 2nd, 2022Clear dark ruby garnet. Nose and medium palate of black cherry, licorice, and Earl Grey tea. Fine, medium plus tannins and medium plus acidity.

Аромат изящный, черных ягод, немного замши, садовых цветов, пряностей. Интересный, элегантный. 17/20 (93/100)

Drinkable but still matte on mouth, can smell florals, get notes of cherry.
