Caiarossa (BIO-ORGANIC) - Toscana IGT 2021
Caiarossa: A Unique Blend
Caiarossa embodies the essence of the winery, crafted from a unique blend of seven red grape varieties that reflect the estate's identity and the complexity of its terroir.
Managed according to Biodynamic and Organic principles since 1998, Caiarossa joined the Albada Jelgersma family in 2004, owners of Château Giscours in Margaux, Bordeaux. The estate covers 110 hectares, with 31 hectares of vines across 47 parcels, each carefully adapted to variations in soil, altitude, and exposure. The remaining land features Mediterranean scrub and 500 olive trees.
Inspired by Feng Shui, the winery's design influences its shape, orientation, materials, and colors. Since 2016, Caiarossa has been part of the Toscana Wine Architecture project, linking 14 Tuscan wineries recognized for their unique architectural significance.
The 2021 Vintage:
The 2021 vintage experienced particularly varied and demanding climatic conditions, with very low rainfall throughout the year. Winter was marked by sub-zero temperatures in February. March, on the other hand, was dry, with above-average maximum temperatures, accelerating the budding of the vines.
After a rather cool and rainy spring, the arrival of a high-pressure system at the end of May stabilized the weather, ensuring dry conditions until the end of August. September brought warm and sunny days, allowing us to harvest grapes at optimal phenolic ripeness characterized by remarkably soft and silky tannins.
