Accolades:
93/100 – James Suckling
92/100 – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“A blend of 75% Sangiovese, 18% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, the Caiarossa 2021 Pergolaia opens to earthy notes and leather, with blackcurrant and dried cherry. The savory side of the wine is more pronounced in this sunny vintage. The wine finishes short, with medium-plus intensity and a streamlined mouthfeel. It aged in large oak casks for 14 months.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“This shines with cassis and earth notes and a bit of ashy and peppery character. Soft and dense on the palate, it displays firm tannins soaked in blueberry fruit, with crisp acidity and a stern finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. It needs a couple of years of aging to approach maturity.” – James Suckling

Sangiovese gives Caiarossa Pergolaia 2021 its Tuscan identity. The vintage combines 75% Sangiovese, 18% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, bringing together berry fruit, a citrus accent and savoury character in a dry red.

Pergolaia offers a Sangiovese-led perspective on Caiarossa’s coastal estate, distinct from the Merlot-led Aria blend. Its fruit and structure make it a characterful introduction to the producer’s approach to blending.
