Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2000 Magnum

This is the estate’s top wine – Lupicaia has made the estate world-renowned. This rich Super Tuscan has considerable ageing potential and it is one of the finest made; from its debut vintage, as well as all following vintages, achieved the coveted Tre Bicchieri award. The two characteristic red-brown parallel segments on the label symbolize the typical red colour of the soil in the vineyards.

Lupicaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, vinified from only the best of the carefully selected grapes, and aged for 18 months in new French Allier barrels. A heady bliend of crushed black cherry, blackberry and spice aromas precede plush blackcurrant, dark chocolate and mint-laced fruit with mineral aspect and a sculpting acity. Tannins are big, round and soft before an eternal finish.
