TASTING NOTES

Production

Lupicaia takes its name from a local place name derived from the stream of the same name, where wolves were once sighted. Lupicaia is composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Ageing takes place separately in Allier tonneaux for approximately 22 months, followed by blending and a further period of bottle ageing before release. This wine is the result of the attention and care devoted to every stage of its production, such as the manual selection of the finest bunches and ageing in tonneaux.

Organoleptic Characteristics

In the glass, it presents an intense, concentrated hue reminiscent of ruby, accompanied by subtle garnet undertones. The bouquet of aromas that defines its olfactory profile unfolds in layered, expansive notes, where fruit alternates with spicier aromas. On the palate, it has excellent structure, is round, with a lively mouthfeel, where freshness and minerality contribute to a smooth drinking experience, thanks also to finely integrated tannins. A wine with which the Castello del Terriccio winery reaches the pinnacle of its range, as evidenced by the major national and international accolades bestowed upon this label by the leading wine guides.

Occasion and Pairing

Lupicaia is perfect paired with meat dishes such as roasts and grilled meats.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, Lupicaia should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Castello del Terriccio

On the slopes of the Umbrian Apennines where time seems to stand still, shrouded in an aura of charm and mystery, stands the Castello della Sala. This imposing medieval manor, built in 1350, now belongs to the Antinori family, which has been taking care of the production of one of the best Umbrian wines with ambition and care since 1979. Not far from the border with Tuscany and the iconic city of Orvieto, the 500 hectares of Antinori soils, rich in clay and minerals, are criss-crossed by the river Paglia and long rows of vines of different varieties: Chardonnay, Grechetto, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc and many others. Under the guidance of agronomist Renzo Cotarella, the winery works tirelessly in the search for a white wine capable of expressing itself over the years and evolving over time, asserting itself through character and personality. In Castello della Sala's modern, recently updated wine cellar, each grape is treated with the utmost respect for the raw material, and then transferred to the estate's historic refining cellars, dating back to the 14th century, where the ageing process takes its course. Name and address of producer/distributor: Castello della Sala - Località Sala, 05016 Ficulle TR. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
