This is fresh and crunchy with notes of red and dark berries, as well as spices and citrus peel. Medium- to full-bodied. It is polished and velvety with toned acidity and a polished finish. 32% cabernet franc, 24% merlot, 19% cabernet sauvignon, 18% syrah and 7% grenache. Made from biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Try from 2026, but already beautiful.

The nose offers a captivating blend of nuanced fruit aromas, from Bing cherries to rhubarb to pomegranate, and then a fresh herbaceousness, with mint and fennel. On the palate, tannins guide you toward dark fruits that eventually explode into a powerfully peppery finish. A reminder that Bolgheri isn't the only part of the Maremma worth plundering, especially at this price point.

There's a real minerality to this intriguing blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache. It exudes light balsamic notes with hints of cardamom and chocolate. Succulent and juicy, with flavours of dark cherry and prune, silky tannins and a sapid background. This comes from the estate's youngest vineyards that are planted at 200m-350m. Biodynamic.

The Caiarossa 2020 Aria di Caiarossa is an organic and biodynamic blend of Merlot, Syrah, Alicante, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It delivers a very generous and rich performance with full-bodied aromas of black fruit, sweet spice and cinnamon. The oak needs another year or two to integrate. Black fruit is the protagonist, but baking chocolate and a dusting of crushed limestone take on supporting roles.

The 2020 Aria di Caiarossa is dark, fleshy and super-expressive. Black cherry, mocha, new leather, licorice, spice and lavender are nicely amplified. Resonant and wonderfully deep, the 2020 Aria is showing so well today. Silky tannins wrap it all together in style.
