Description
Caiarossa Toscana 2022 is a refined Super Tuscan from the Tuscan coast, combining the character of Mediterranean-influenced vineyards with the structure of classic Bordeaux varieties and the elegance of Sangiovese. Produced at the Caiarossa estate near Riparbella, the wine reflects a distinctly modern approach to Tuscan winemaking while remaining firmly rooted in the region’s rich viticultural history.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in appearance, the 2022 vintage opens with expressive aromas of ripe red and dark berries, blackcurrant, violet and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by subtle notes of spice, cedar and finely toasted oak. The palate is generous yet well defined, with concentrated fruit, fresh acidity and polished tannins. Layers of plum, blackberry and red cherry develop alongside hints of liquorice, cocoa and earthy herbs, leading to a long, savoury finish.
Already approachable with decanting, Caiarossa 2022 has the balance and structure to develop further in bottle. It should drink beautifully over the next 8–12 years, with additional complexity emerging as the fruit integrates with the oak and tertiary notes begin to appear.
Production
The estate is located in the rolling hills around Riparbella on Tuscany’s coastal side, where maritime influences, sunshine and varied soils create wines with both richness and freshness. Caiarossa’s different grape varieties and vineyard parcels are harvested and vinified separately to preserve their individual character. Fermentation takes place slowly and spontaneously in a combination of concrete vats and conical wooden tanks, with gentle extraction. Following malolactic fermentation, the components are blended and the wine matures for approximately 14 months in French oak barrels.
Food & Serving
A versatile partner for Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine, Caiarossa works particularly well with grilled or braised beef, lamb, wild boar ragù, roasted poultry and mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to breathe. Decant for around 60–90 minutes when serving young to soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s aromatic layers.
Producer
Caiarossa was founded in 1998 at Podere Serra All’Olio, a 70-hectare estate near Riparbella that had been associated with the Medici family for centuries. The winery has become one of the most distinctive producers on Tuscany’s coast, recognised for its parcel-by-parcel approach, careful blending and expressive, terroir-driven wines. Its vineyards are cultivated with a strong focus on organic and biodynamic principles, while the cellar combines traditional patience with precise modern winemaking.
