The Caiarossa 2019 Pergolaia (an organic and biodynamic wine) is Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The bouquet opens to red and purple fruits with wild plum, dried cherry, potting soil and pressed rose. Those floral tones and mild herbal signatures are what give this wine its very Mediterranean, easy-drinking personality.

A lush, opulent red, featuring blackberry, blueberry, plum, violet and black pepper flavors. Dense, with well-wrought tannins that add support and bolster the lingering finish. Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Alicante. Drink now through 2026. 4,180 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.
