The name Caiarossa refers to the local earth, the “red gravel”, the red ferrous stones and pebbles on this hillside.

The Head of Dionysos, the symbol of Caiarossa, is profoundly  linked to this land and its clay, a treasure for more than wine alone. The Etruscan head depicted on the label, owned by Eric Albada Jelgersma, dates to the 4th Century BC and was discovered near Volterra. It is a face of magnetic beauty and the face of a God who, from the very depths of antiquity, looks towards the future and our present with all the  profundity of both emotions and values that will never age.

Eric Albada Jelgersma chose this archaeological piece to represent the emblematic synthesis of his Tuscan wines and their style.
Wines of Caiarossa – and the estate itself, are, as the general manager Alexander Van Beek explains –not only  aimed  at lovers of wine, but also to  those who are passionate  about life and beauty! Men and women who enjoy time  at their leisure  and who are fascinated by what is unique, whether it is  the contents of a glass, an object of art or a pristine mountain peak.

What Eric Albada Jelgersma wants to offer in the glass, is the luxury of Mother Nature, which man has helped to produce. He believes that
whoever stops and thinks about wine and where it comes from, will start to appreciate the extraordinary beauty of a great wine.
