A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Aria di Caiarossa opens to dark and meaty aromas of plum, prune, Morello cherry, savory spice and cured meat. You get dense, masculine tones here. The wine shows enormous grip and power in the mouth. It literally digs deep into your taste buds thanks to the firmness of the tannins and the thick consistency of its texture. This is the quintessential winter wine to pair with succulent steaks.
