2019 Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia Toscana
SKU #5063831
Winery Notes- Tassinaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in almost equal percentages. It is named after the farmhouse on one of the hills called “Le Tassinaie”, which means “the place of the stones”. After 16 months aging in tonneaux of French oak, the varieties are blended and allowed to age in bottle for at least 12 months before sale. The two green lines on the label represent the green fields in springtime.

JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: Currants and flowers with just a whiff of lavender on the nose. Medium body, fine tannins and a bright finish. Vivid and very attractive. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Makes you want to drink it.
ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: his 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.
