CAIAROSSA
Caiarossa was founded in 1998 in the Val di Cecina, southwest of Florence and just inland from the Tuscan Coast, and takes its name from the intense red soils of the region. The property was acquired in 2004 by Eric Jelgersma, owner of famed Bordeaux estates Ch. Giscours and Ch. Du Tertre, and has since become a critical darling, featuring a string of top scoring wines. The vineyards sit on varied soil types and are planted to 11 different varietals, including classic Bordeaux cultivars as well as Syrah, Chardonnay and Viognier, among others. The property has been fully organic and Demeter-certified bio-dynamic since 2005. Caiarossa is the estate’s benchmark bottling and is the purest expression of the spectacular terroir. Made from a blend of seven varietals grown in the Podere Serra all’Olio vineyard, the 2013 vintage garnered 94-point scores from both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate.
