Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 heady finish

heady finish

the Casuccia is a sensual

While Chateauneuf du Pape is a warm appellation

roses and Indian spice forming its bouquet

Sandy tannins stick to the palate with plenty of grip to bolster the sweet fruit

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 heady finishThe 2015 Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, now with an element of Syrah. The wine is fermented partly in steel and partly in oak and brings a breeze of spice from the get go. This second level red from Castello del Terriccio offers plenty of rich, exuberant and succulent fruit. I imagine it will open nicely over the next few years. Tassinaia is a selection of fruit from different vineyard parcels.
