93pts Robert Parker s Wine Advocate
The 2013 Lupicaia already presents some austerity, and a very slight evolution is beginning to show. The wine s appearance is darkly concentrated, and the bouquet is slightly tighter and more nervous. Dark cherries, dried blackberries and spice emerge from the bouquet. The wine was going through a phase of being slightly shut down when I tasted it.
93pts James Suckling
Pretty blackberry and blackcurrant aromas with hints of violets. Full body, round and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Refined and tight. Drink or hold.
Winery Notes
Castello del Terriccio remains one of Maremma s under the radar properties. There are a few reasons for that. One of them is a strategy of setting high prices set many years ago that turned out to be hard to overcome when markets corrected first in the early 2000s and then later in the 2007-2009 time period. Terriccio also releases their top wines later than virtually all other properties, which means the collective interest in top years has often faded when the estate s wines hit the market. But when it comes to only about what is in the bottle, the Terriccio wines can be superb. At their best, the Terriccio reds combine the richness and power of Maremma with gorgeous nuance that develops in bottle over time. Proprietor Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana has spared no expense at Terriccio, and it shows.
