The balsamic notes are really starting to open up here in the 2009 Lupicaia. This wine has begun to come of age. This was a slightly cooler growing season, and this wine shows little of the ripe, fruit-forwardness that marked many of the following vintages. There is a velvety side to this Lupicaia, with more textural looseness and openness in general.
Producer
Castello del Terriccio
Castello del Terriccio is a significant estate located north of Bolgheri, within the Maremma lines. Spread across a major block of Tuscany, encompassing an impressive 1,700-hectares, the land is home to 60-hectares of vineyards and a horse farm. The sloping plots of vines overlook the sea, providing a maritime-like microclimate. Former rider, Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana Serafini Ferri owns this beautiful property and continues his passion for horses as an avid breeder at his farm. Producing some of Italy’s most modern wines, consulting oenologist, Carlo Ferrini crafts four fresh yet complex reds, and two whites. The rich flagship wine, Lupicaia is now its own brand – bottled under G.A. Rossi di Medelana. In the same spirit of excellence, the property produces Tassinaia, a boldly structured Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend.
