“Tasted from vat, the Caiarossa 2018 Pergolaia is mostly Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This wine opens to a mid-weight approach and a bright bouquet colored by notes of cherry, wild plum, tilled earth and pressed violet or blue flower. The wine wraps over the palate with delicate, silky intensity.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“A fresh, linear Tuscan red with berries, strawberries and hints of chocolate powder. Medium bodied, round and delicious. Energetic and tangy. Orange peel. 80% sangiovese, 15% cabneret sauvignon and 5% merlot.” – James Suckling
“A compact style, boasting black cherry, blueberry, leather, oak spice, earth and tobacco flavors, with rustic tannins lending support. This is fresh and long. Patience required. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2030.” – Wine Spectator
Tasting Note: Following the Tuscan tradition, Sangiovese dominates in this blend, shaping Pergolaia into a wine of intense bouquet, seductive body with soft tannins and superb depth. 80% Sangiovese with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, from the Podere Serra all’olio and Podere Nocolino vineyards.
