Description

The Rosso Toscana IGT Lupicaia of Castello Del Terriccio is born in one of the most suitable areas of Tuscany, a territory that fully expresses the class and elegance of its red wines. This wine stands out for its composition based on Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, grape varieties that harmoniously merge enhancing the structure and complexity of the product.

Aged in small French oak barrels, Lupicaia develops an intense aromatic richness, with hints of ripe forest fruits, sweet spices and an elegant balsamic background. On the palate it emerges powerful but balanced, with soft tannins and a long and pleasant taste persistence.

Perfectly paired with red meats, braised dishes and aged cheeses, this red represents a fine example of how the Tuscan terroir can express itself through a refined blend attentive to quality, ideal for those looking for a wine with character and depth.

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).
