Descrizione

Con Vento by Castello Del Terriccio is a Bianco Toscana IGT that encapsulates the essence of Maremma, a volcanic land kissed by the sea. It is born from a skilful blend of indigenous and international grape varieties, an expression of a unique terroir characterized by rich soils and a Mediterranean climate. The aging takes place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and brilliance of the wine. In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color and intense aromas reminiscent of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, and a delicate mineral note. On the palate, it is fresh, balanced, and harmonious, with a pleasant acidic vein that invites the next sip. Ideal to accompany seafood appetizers, delicate fish dishes, or fresh cheeses, Con Vento elegantly expresses the vibrant and authentic character of Tuscany. A white wine that tells the passion of Castello Del Terriccio for respect for nature and quality.

Winery history

The site preserves traces of viticulture dating back to Etruscan times; its name derives from the ruins of a medieval castle on the estate's highest hill. In the 20th century the property was converted into a large agricultural estate and, from the 1970s/1980s onward, under the guidance of Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana the estate specialized in producing high-quality wines, gaining international renown. Current management has passed to the next generation, who continue the agricultural and winemaking activities while maintaining the estate's historical ties.

Production philosophy

An approach focused on integrating with the environment: protecting biodiversity, choosing international varieties suited to the territory, controlled yield reduction to concentrate the quality of the grapes, and winemaking that respects the fruit’s characteristics with selected aging in wood and stainless steel.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate stretches along the coastal strip of the Maremma near Bolgheri (province of Pisa), on calcareous-sandy, stony soils and under the strong influence of sea breezes; the landscape alternates between vineyards, Mediterranean scrub, woodland and olive groves overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Awards and recognitions

The estate and its wines have received national and international recognition; in particular, Lupicaia has been repeatedly awarded (including Tre Bicchieri for many vintages).
