It is the leading wine of the farm - the wine which has made the estate world-renowned. This rich Super Tuscan has considerable ageing potential and it is one of the finest made; its debut vintage, as well as all following vintages, achieve the coveted Tre Bicchieri award. The two characteristic brown parallel segments on the label symbolizes the open furrows of the fallow. Lupicaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot vinified from only the best of the carefully selected grapes, and aged for 18 months in new French Allier barrels. A heady blend of crushed black cherry, blackberry and spice aromas precede plush blackcurrant, dark chocolate and mint-laced fruit with mineral aspect and a sculpting acity. Tannins are big, round and soft before an eternal finish. |
