Omschrijving
Caiarossa 2021 - Super Tuscan
Caiarossa is een estate dat net ten noorden van Bolgheri ligt. Vanaf het begin in 2002 werkt Caiarossa al volledig biologisch-dynamisch en is sinds 2005 ook als Demeter-gecertificeerd. In 2004 werd het estate gekocht door de (in 2018 overleden) Nederlandse Eric Albada Jelgersma. Het estate is vandaag de dag nog steeds in handen van de Albada Jelgersma-familie die ook Château Giscours in Margaux bezit. Bijzonder is dat er tien druivensoorten staan aangeplant, elk uitgezocht op het meest geschikte bodemtype. Het gaat om een mix van Bordeaux- en Rhône-druivensoorten. Elk jaar wordt de blend opnieuw bepaald.

Caiarossa 2021 : 2021 was a demanding but ultimately rewarding vintage in much of Tuscany, with a warm March encouraging an early budbreak. The summer was hot and dry, with some welcome rain arriving in early September. Warm and sunny days returned for harvest. This is a wine with great potential but at this stage it is still quite closed. ‘We do very little racking to avoid oxygen during ageing,’ states general manager Jérôme Poisson. With time in the glass, fleshy black and blue fruit aromas and flavours emerge, along with hints of Mediterranean scrub. Velvety tannins keep a tight grip, while the fruit sapidity is underlined by a lovely vein of salinity and a ferrous twist. Long and poised, some savoury, earthy elements make themselves known on the finish. 30% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Franc, 16% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Sangiovese, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Grenache, each vinified separately before blending and ageing for around 14 months in French oak barrels, 30% new.

Caiarossa 2021 : The medium-saturated ruby colour anticipates an extremely distinctive nose, with hints of nutmeg and spicy herbs framing iron-tinged blackcurrants, red roses, pine resin, liquorice and cocoa powder. Lush blackcurrants take centre stage on the palate, while slightly stern tannins and a bitter orange tang provide lift. Garrigue, cedar and saline minerals linger on the long and youthfully dusty finish. Cabernet Franc and Syrah account for 50% of the blend, which also includes dollops of Sangiovese and Grenache alongside traditional Bordeaux varieties.
