NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia is a deep and complex Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot.The nose is perfumed with aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and licorice with subtle notes of tobacco and herbs. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated with flavors of ripe blackberry, cassis, and currant, as well as some earthy nuances of crushed stone and leather. The finish is long and persistent, with soft, velvety tannins and a lingering hint of spice. An excellent Tuscan red that will pair well with many dishes.
