Castello del Terriccio

Tuscany is famously the land of spectacular landscapes and fine wine, but Castello del Terriccio is truly a hidden gem within this region and a delight to all five senses. From the estates 1,500 ha of rolling forests, fields of golden grain and vine rows, you can look out over a sapphire sea all the way to Corsica. A symphony of cicadas, hoopoes and the whisper of the sea breeze delights the ears, while the sun caresses your skin. The eucalyptus trees, wild herbs, blackcurrants and warm spices leap out of a glass of Lupicaia, the flagship red wine of the estate.

On the palate this incredibly long-lived wine is elegantly balanced, complex and a true reflection of how well Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grow in the area. This boutique winery only produces five wines: one white (Con Vento) and four reds (Tassinaia, Castello del Terriccio, Lupicaia and Gian Annibale), internationally recognized as some of the best so called “supertuscans”. Nestled along the coastal hills between Pisa and Bolgheri, this is an estate which is rare to come across now: privately owned, where each wine reflects the passion and love of the owner, Vittorio Piozzo di Rosignano Rossi di Medelana.
