The 2020 Pergolaia, the estate’s Sangiovese-based blend I, is a pretty, exotic wine. Ripe red cherry fruit, white pepper, mint, rose petal and cinnamon show the racier side of Sangiovese off to great effect. Dollops of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend. All the elements are so nicely balanced.

Varietal

Sangiovese

The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively â€“ full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

On the nose, aromas of rose petals soften a strong, astringent fruitiness, while savory notes of earth and ash lead onto a palate that starts meaty and spicy, before a gentle, tempering sweetness eventually emerges to provide a sense of comfort. Intentional and satisfying.

Wine Advocate

A blend of organic and biodynamic Sangiovese (in the biggest percentage) with smaller parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the Caiarossa 2020 Pergolaia opens to a deep garnet color and medium rich-concentration. There are ruby highlights that come from the Sangiovese, and that grape contributes to the wine's accessible and silky personality. There is plenty of bright cherry. Among these new releases, this is the bottle to open in the near term, especially with a meat roast and potatoes.

Wine Spectator

Aromas and flavors of black currant, black olive tapenade, violet and cedar dominate this red for now, with purity and precision, while densely woven tannins add to the velvety texture. Balanced and long. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2030. 4,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

James Suckling

Attractive red fruit character here with orange peel, cured meat and wet stones on offer. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and linear with fine tannins and juicy acidity that adds freshness and crunchy feeling to it. Bright and velvety finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. 76% sangiovese, 14% merlot and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

Winery Notes

Rated 92 - Described as having a bright, medium ruby red color with nuances of lush sour cherries, ripe plums, forest floor, white pepper, and violets, leading to a juicy palate with well-integrated tannins and a complex, long finish. - Falstaff
