Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia 2019

Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia 2019 is an elegantly crafted and highly expressive Super Tuscan that beautifully reflects the coastal terroir of the estate. A harmonious blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it pours a vibrant, deep ruby red. The nose is inviting and aromatic, unfolding with notes of blackcurrant, dark plum, and fresh blackberry, seamlessly interwoven with nuances of Mediterranean herbs, sweet tobacco, candied watermelon, and a delicate hint of lavender. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, vivid, and well-structured, delivering a generous core of concentrated dark fruit and subtle earthy spices. Framed by fine-grained tannins and a bright, refreshing acidity, the wine culminates in a long, polished, and highly accessible finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled red meats, traditional Tuscan pasta dishes, roasted lamb, wild boar ragù, and mature aged cheeses.

This is a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that was first produced in 1992. The Castello del Terriccio 2019 Tassinaia hits a very attractive price point and offers lots of dark fruit concentration and richness along the way. Grilled herb, candied watermelon, tar and spice appear on the nose. The wine travels over the palate with some sharpness, good freshness and overall accessibility.
