If the Caiarossa is the king of this estate, the Aria is the queen, a blend of 35% Merlot, 30% Syrah, 15% Alicante, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is the more fragile and delicate of these two French-style wines, a big wine in terms of blending choices but with less brawn and muscle. The two wines share the same selection of grapes more or less from the same parcels. Caiarossa is a bend of seven grapes and this is a blend of five, but the percentages of each variety change each year. The bouquet of the 2016 Aria di Caiarossa is a bit timid on the nose but ample on the close. It shows nice depth in the mouth, and there is a sanguine or rusty and salty mineral note present as well that pops up behind the black and dark purple fruit. This was their most productive year to date with this wine, with 35,000 bottles made.
