2020 Caiarossa (BIO ORGANIC)

Caiarossa, a unique blended wine 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.
