2006 Castello del Terriccio ‘Tassinaia’ Toscana IGT
£32.00
“The 2006 Tassinaia flows from the glass with beautifully delineated layers of dark fruit, mocha, espresso, licorice, leather and spices. This is an unusually ripe, expansive Tassinaia with enough richness and sheer pedigree to challenge some of the estate’s more expensive bottlings. Sweet grilled herbs and spices add a final flourish on the powerful close, with notes of brightness from the Sangiovese that act as a foil to some of the darker nuances in the wine. In 2006 Tassinaia is nothing short of magnificent. Tassinaia is Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.”

Product Description
Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. 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. Tassinaia was first produced in 1992.
