Castello del Terriccio

Castello of Terriccio represents one of the largest winery estate in Tuscany: spanning approximately 1500 hectares in total, of which 65 are allocated to the vineyards and 40 to the olive groves, that extend along the northern border of the Tuscan region of Maremma near Bolgheri. The fortunate combination of soil, air and light, make this microcosm unique; a place where nature and human intervention are integrated with balance and the latter, with foresight, was able to safeguard the biodiversity of the area over time by maintaining the presence of different crops and spontaneous vegetation next to the vineyards. The cultivation of vines in these lands dates back to the Etruscan times, and at the end of the nineteen eighties a new phase of viticulture was instituted in order to fully explore the potential of the area and its actual vocation WITH LUPICAIA AND CASTELLO DEL TERRICCIO, COUNTING AS SOME OF THE GREATEST RED WINES EVER SINCE THEIR BEGINNINGS, THE COMPANY HAS WRITTEN IMPORTANT PAGES IN THE HISTORY OF ITALIAN WINE AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF TUSCAN AND ITALIAN ENOLOGY IN THE WORLD.
