Castello Del Terriccio Tassinaia 2019

The Castello del Terriccio estate is one of the most beautifully situated along the entire coastal region, some miles north of Bolgheri. The 60 hectares of vines enjoy wonderful exposure, overlooking the sea, benefitting from its warmth and brightness. The vineyards are surrounded by ‘maquis’ and eucalyptus trees, which as well as protecting them, also contribute to the aromas and scents that so characterise the Terriccio wines.

The nose on this wine offers a riot of savory, metallic aromas, from black olives to capers to potting soil to black pepper. This gives way to a palate with ripe but crunchy strawberries, cranberries and a tannic, salted-dark-chocolate finish.
