SOLD OUT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday 13th<\/sup> December<\/strong> we are hosting our final wine dinner of 2012, in one of our favourite dining rooms in London, the private room at the\u00a0River Caf\u00e9<\/a>,<\/strong> with the wines of Castello del Terriccio<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Patrick Sandeman<\/strong> was the first ‘outsider’ (not from the estate staff) other than the consultant oenologist Carlo Ferrini, to taste these wines, back in the early ’90s. He was immediately taken with the character produced by such young vines, and immediately placed the estate’s\u00a0first export order. L&S’s relationship with the\u00a0Terriccio has deepened over the years since, and Pucci (aka Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana Serafini Ferri, Terriccio’s owner)\u00a0visited the shop at 170 Fulham Road shortly before Patrick left us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Terriccio is one of Tuscany\u2019s most beautiful estates on the Maremma coast\u00a0with wonderful views out to sea, and the fresh coastal breezes and clarity of light that allow the vines to grow so healthily. The wines here have been made by Carlo Ferrini since the very beginning. He, like so many of the best winemakers, has cut back on the amount of oak used, there is a purer expression of fruit and a greater lift in these wines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tassinaia<\/a>, <\/strong>the fabulous value wine of the estate, continues to enchant. It has a fleshy softness and easy appeal, but also a satisfying amount of character and density, making it a treat at a price which can still allow a weekday indulgence<\/p>\n

Lupicaia<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the\u00a0top wine the estate, very much reflects the same\u00a0character of Terriccio; spice, balsam, eucalyptus and depth of fruit, but with a classical balance, a restrained power. We may have been guilty\u00a0in recent years of under-selling this wine, as we remembered\u00a0the pricing of the early vintages, but relative to both Bordeaux and most other\u00a0Tuscan greats,\u00a0it does in fact remain great value.<\/p>\n

‘Castello del Terriccio’ <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>(destined to become known simply as ‘Castello’) is a relatively new wine to the estate, based upon Syrah, Mourv\u00e8dre, Tannat and Cabernet Franc. All the 2006s are truly gorgeous.<\/p>\n

The most ‘junior’ wine of the estate is Capannino, made from young vines and barrels and vats which do not quite fit the blends of the other wines. As such it’s own blend can vary rather wildly from vintage to vintage, but it has always offered really striking value. The pure Merlot Capannino 2010<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> is another in a long line of such bargains.<\/p>\n
