Lupicaia' Castello del Terriccio 2019

“Lupicaia”, a name and a guarantee for all enthusiasts of great Tuscan red wines. Indeed, because this label embodies the best of the production of Castello del Terriccio, and it is the one that has made the winery known all over the world, also thanks to the excellent scores that, year after year, it continues to achieve internationally. An elegant and prestigious bottle, where the aromas become intense and the taste is satisfying, endowed with balance and harmony. A great wine, to be reserved for the most important occasions.

The red wine “Lupicaia” is born from a skillful blend that the team of the Castello del Terriccio winery assembles, combining 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Petit Verdot. The grapes of these varieties, carefully selected during the harvest to ensure only the best of the terroir of origin, ferment separately, macerating for a long time on the skins. Then we proceed with the important aging phase, which takes place first for 24 months in French oak tonneau, of which at least 6 spent on the fine lees, and then, after bottling, for another 12 months directly in glass.

The “Lupicaia” is a red wine that, upon visual examination, presents itself with an intense and concentrated shade, reminiscent of ruby, accompanied by slight garnet hues. The bouquet of aromas that constitutes the olfactory profile moves on layered and broad notes, where fruit alternates with more spicy aromas. On the palate, it has excellent structure, round, with an energetic sip, where freshness and minerality represent the elements of a smooth drink, also thanks to a finely integrated tannin. A bottle with which the Castello del Terriccio winery reaches the corporate peak of its range, as also evidenced by the great recognitions, national and international, that the main reference guides reserve for this label.
