Descrizione

Rosso Toscana IGT Castello Del Terriccio is a wine that embodies the authentic soul of the Tuscan territory, an expression of a careful selection of typical grape varieties from the region. Coming from vineyards located in the hills of Tuscany, this red wine presents an intense ruby color, the result of grapes harvested at perfect ripeness. The winemaking method includes controlled fermentation and aging that enhances the balance between structure and softness, often completed by a brief passage in wood that imparts elegance and complexity.

On the nose, it reveals aromas rich in ripe red fruit, delicate spice notes, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs, while on the palate it stands out for its harmony, with silky tannins and a pleasant freshness. Perfect paired with roasted meats, aged cheeses, and traditional local dishes, it is a wine that offers an enveloping and genuine sensory experience.

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).
