Descrizione

Rosso Toscana IGT Tassinaia from Castello Del Terriccio is born in the generous lands of Tuscany, one of the most renowned wine regions in Italy, where the Mediterranean climate and mineral-rich soils favor the cultivation of grapes of excellent quality. This wine, mainly obtained from indigenous grape varieties such as Sangiovese, stands out for its elegant and complex structure.

Il Tassinaia ages in wooden barrels for a period that gives the wine a refined aromatic complexity, made up of fruity hints of cherry and plum, intertwined with spicy and slightly balsamic notes. On the palate, it is harmonious and enveloping, with well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Perfect to accompany red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, Rosso Toscana IGT Tassinaia represents a perfect balance between tradition and modernity in the heart of Tuscany.

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).
