2018 Castello del Terriccio Toscana IGT 750ml

Experience the namesake masterpiece of the Maremma with the 2018 Castello del Terriccio Toscana IGT 750ml at VS Liquor. This flagship cuvée is the ultimate expression of one of Tuscany’s largest and most historic estates, where the sloping vineyards meet the cooling influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Unlike many of its neighbors that lead with Sangiovese, the "Castello del Terriccio" is a bold and unconventional blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot. This choice reflects the estate's unique mineral-rich soil and maritime microclimate, which impart a level of spice and structural intensity rarely found in the region. The 2018 vintage, characterized by a cooler growing season, allowed for a long, slow maturation that resulted in a wine of exceptional aromatic clarity and polished elegance.

The bouquet is exuberant and multi-layered, offering intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and violet, nuanced by sophisticated balsamic notes of rosemary, lavender, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, delivering a dense core of dark fruit supported by silky, integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish with a signature Mediterranean salinity.
