Castello del Terriccio Tassinaia and Capannina Collection (up to 93 points)
This product is not currently available.
Why to buy: Here are two great Tuscan wines—three wonderful bottles to go with weeknight pastas and steaks, and one to break out for a fabulous occasion. This enormously talented Italian producer consistently wins the coveted Tre Bicchieri award.
Characteristics: Ruby red in hue, with notes of ripe red cherries, violets, eucalyptus and plums, Capannina is dense and supple, with plenty of acidity and structure, velvety tannins framing dark fruit and licorice notes, and a clean, lingering finish. Elegant yet approachable, it is a serious—and superb—entry-level bottle for those just getting to know Tuscan wine. Tassinaia, on the other hand, is structured and powerful, with notes of blackberry and blackcurrants, herbs and tar, tobacco, cedar and vanilla. On the palate, it blossoms into rich, round plums, cherries and soft tannins—with a wonderful, broad finish. Tuscan wines are at the very heart of the Italian eating and drinking lifestyle, and these two extraordinary wines are no exception
