Caiarossa (BIO-ORGANIC) - Toscana IGT 2022
Caiarossa, a unique blend in Tuscany
The soul of the winery. An original blend out of 7 different red varieties to reflect Caiarossa’s identity and the complexity of its outstanding terroir.
The winery has been running the vineyards according to Biodynamic and Organic principles since 1998. Since 2004 it has been part of the Albada Jelgersma family, which also owns a historic winery in Bordeaux – Margaux, Chateau Giscours. It extends for about 110 hectares, of which 31 are planted with vines, divided into 47 parcels, interpreted by 10 varieties. The mosaic of vineyards has been tailored according to differences in soil, altitude and exposure. The other hectares are covered by Mediterranean scrub and about 500 olive trees.
The winery was built by taking inspiration from Feng Shui’s principles to identify shape and exposure and the choice of materials and colours. Since 2016 the winery has been part of the Toscana Wine Architecture project, which links 14 Tuscan wineries chosen for their architectural particularities.
The 2022 vintage

The vintage 2022 was characterized by a typical climate of the Tuscan Coast. The Winter experienced mild temperatures and low rainfall, followed by a Spring with abundant precipitation from March to mid-May. Summer arrived early and continued with hot and sunny days. This pattern was interrupted on August 13th by a low-pressure system that brought refreshing rains for over a week, cooling the temperatures. These conditions encouraged slow, steady ripening, enhancing freshness and complexity in the grapes. During harvest, ideal weather allowed us to bring excellent grapes into the cellar.
The result is a vintage with velvety tannins, remarkable balance, and deep elegance.
