Wine of the Month – Caiarossa Pergolaia

With the launching of our new website, we would like to highlight one of our wine choices, Caiarossa Pergolaia. An organic, red table wine from the Tuscany region, its primary grape is a Sangiovese. This pairs very well with pastas and meats. Read some of the reviews on this great red wine choice.

It was given 94 points from Wine Spectator:

“Flavors of black cherry and blackberry stand up to the dense tannins in this fresh, deep and intense red, but this is equally about the vibrant acidity driving the fruit, wild herb nuances and spice-infused aftertaste. Sangiovese with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2040. 4,700 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.” 

and 92 points from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate.

“Mostly Sangiovese with the other 30% composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Pergolaia is all about matching grapes to soils, a tribute to Tuscany from a French-owned estate better known for its international approach. This vintage has slightly less Sangiovese than usual in order to create a more accessible wine, with more freshness and juiciness. It’s almost crunchy in texture, a full-bodied red that covers the whole mouth. The aging is spread out evenly between botte and tonneaux, as they reserved the big wood for the more delicate Sangiovese grape. The fruit here shows perfect ripeness with lots of primary intensity and freshness. It’s a versatile red to match with all kinds of pastas and meats. It’s ready to open now or to age for just a few more years.”

Let us help you find the perfect pairing for your wine choice and dining options.
