Castello del Terriccio is an Italian winery in Tuscany near the Tyrrhenian Sea.[1] Proprietor Dr. Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana noted the success of Sassicaia and intends to make his own version.[1] Its grand vin is the eponymous Castello del Terriccio. The vineyard introduced Lupicaia in the 1993 vintage; it is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine blend with Merlot and Petit Verdot.[1] The component wine varieties of Lupicaia ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, and aged in barrique for 18 to 24 months before blending and bottling.[2]
