LUPICAIA

2007 Castello del Terriccio

Grapes Cab Sauv, Merlot
Colour Red
Origin Italy, Tuscany
ABV 14.5%

The 2007 Lupicaia caresses the palate with layers of dark red fruit, sweet herbs, tobacco and licorice. This is a fleshy, radiant Lupicaia with lovely juiciness and fine overall balance. Hints of smoke, tar and autumn leaves add complexity on the finish. Next to the Tassianaia, Lupicaia comes across as decidedly understated, but the full breadth of its personality will emerge over time. Minty, floral waft from the glass on the delicate, refined finish. The 2007 Lupicaia is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot that spend 18 months in French oak. Drink: 2014 - 2027 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Oct 2014)

Castello del Terriccio

The Castello del Terriccio is beautifully positioned around twenty-five kilometres north of Bolgheri, with commanding views towards Corsica. The 60 hectares of vines enjoy wonderful exposure, overlooking the sea, benefitting from its brightness and cooling breezes. The vineyards are surrounded by 'maquis' and eucalyptus trees, which as well as protecting them, also contribute to the aromas and scents that so characterise the Terriccio wines.

Planted predominately with Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Syrah, the wines are made by consultant oenologist Carlo Ferrini, who has to date brought thirteen 'Tre Bicchiere' awards to the estate.

These are wines that can be approached almost immediately and yet age so well over a decade and more.

The estate continues in the hands of Vittorio Piozzo di Rosignano Rossi di Medelana who took over after the extraordinarily charming Cav. Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana Serafini Ferri (or 'Pucci' as he was fondly known) who died at the end of 2019. Vittorio has the same team around him working in the cellars and the vineyards and the estate is going from strength to strength.
