Evolved or balsam notes have already begun to appear in the 2012 Lupicaia. There is even a button-mushroom note and more minerality in the mouth with lingering notes of licorice and smoke. The wine possesses an incredible softness and plumpness and pours out loads of mature fruit. The 2012 vintage is very ripe but not overripe. It is well contained and well balanced overall.
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.
