Toscana Rosso IGT "Lupicaia" 2019 - Castello del Terriccio

A Tuscan red wine from Castello del Terriccio, made from Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards sit at 120 metres above sea level with south and south-west exposures. After manual harvest, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 31 °C for 16 days for Merlot and Petit Verdot and 20 days for Cabernet Sauvignon. Before bottling, the wine rests in barriques for 18 months. It is intense and well structured, pairing with grilled meats, roasts, stews with mushrooms and roast game. The nose shows redcurrant, red fruit, spice and woody notes. The palate is full-bodied, broad and warm, with good tannicity and balanced freshness, and the finish is persistent.
