Oro di Caiarossa is Caiarossa's rare dessert wine made from 100% hand-harvested Petit Manseng. Spontaneous fermentation, carried out in French oak barriques, unfolds slowly over more than a year, and the wine ages roughly 10 months in barrique. Production is tiny — around 1,450 bottles per year — making it one of the estate's most sought-after labels, typically bottled in 500ml.
With barely 1,450 bottles a year, Oro di Caiarossa is the estate's best-kept secret — a Petit Manseng dessert wine that balances honeyed richness with real freshness.
