Two bottles in total, in optimal condition, stored in a temperature controlled wine cellar. Caiarossa means immersing yourself in the Tuscan Mediterranean scrubland. We are in Riparbella, between Pisa and Volterra, in a setting dotted with vines and olive trees that look out to the sea. Essenzia is a wine that completely detaches itself from all the other estate wines, a special collection of a few hundred bottles, only in magnum format, only when deemed up to the mark. The blend changes from time to time according to the sensitivity of the vintage, the idea being to tell its true essence through 2 or 3 barriques. The 2012 vintage is a 100 % Cabernet Franc and the 2013 is a blend of Cabernet Franc (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) grapes from the Serra all'Olio vineyard planted in 1998 on partly clay and limestone and partly iron soils with high stone content. The wine ferments in steel tanks, then ages 18 months in barriques of different ages, with an additional 12 months resting in cement. Then very long aging in bottle.
