Castello Del Terriccio Lupicaia 2010 schiavenza After a warm and dryThe 2010 vintage is considered deep, structured, and highly concentrated, showing intense aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, cedar, sage, and balsamic notes, along with hints of dark chocolate and spice from long French oak aging. On the palate, it is full bodied and refined, with rich dark fruit, earthy and herbal complexity, and a strong but polished tannic structure balanced by freshness, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
