The rich and generous Castello del Terriccio 2016 Lupicaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The wine is identified with the name of estate owner G.A. Rossi di Medelana on the front label. It opens to dark fruit intensity with blackberry, black cherry, tar, leather and cured tobacco. There is a lot of pretty concentration in this vintage, and it is well balanced by the linearity and precision of the mouthfeel.
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.
