“A wine with plenty of stones, salt, dried apples, green apples, green ginger and lilacs on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a crisp and vivid finish. Hints of brine as well. A blend of chardonnay and amphora-made viognier and vermentino. Drink now.” – James Suckling

“From a very hot and dry vintage, this blend of organic Viognier and Chardonnay shows vanilla and toasted spice at the back of cooked apple, pastry cream and peach cobbler. There is a lot of soft richness and creaminess in the Caiarossa 2023 Caiarossa Bianco. The wine offers good texture and less freshness, achieving medium to full-bodied appeal.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Tasting Note: Rhône meets Tuscany: an elegant blend of Viognier and Chardonnay from this Tuscan estate’s chalkiest terroir. Vinified and matured in old French oak to enhance its complexity. The nose is redolent of stone fruits, with a honeyed, waxy quality and hints of white pepper. The palate shows surprising restraint, with a lean, crisp and utterly refreshing finish. This release will continue to evolve, but it is showing so much aromatic complexity and beautiful structure right now it’s hard to resist. Fully organic and biodynamic.
