Castello Del Terriccio Lupicaia 2010 schiavenza subtle hints of espresso andThe 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.
