Castello del Terriccio is in Castellina Marittima, in Tuscany, Italy. The estate includes 4,200 acres, though just 150 acres are vineyards. Until only a few years ago the estate was a share cropping enterprise that supported 60 families who grew olives, fruit, grains and other agricultural produces. The first grape vines were planted in the early 1990s, and today the estate produces 350,000 bottles of wine annually. Now part of the international Kobrand portfolio of wine and sprits producers, Castello del Terriccio has won numerous 3 bicchieri awards from Gambero Rosso, Italy’s leading wine journal. The estate’s red wines are so-called Super Tuscans, made from Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot and Sangiovese. There are also white wines. The signature wines are the Lupicaia, Tassinaia and Castello del Terriccio bottlings.
