Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 Still young

Still young

The expressive nose makes this wine’s origins crystal clear with its very fresh aromas of oyster shell

true Syrah all over

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

While Chateauneuf du Pape is a warm appellation

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Vintage:2015 Still youngThe 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.
