90 Pts Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2005 is a fresh, floral Tassinaia that offers superb drinkability. Silky tannins frame a core of perfumed red fruits, spices and minerals. The wine reveals terrific length as well as balance. Simply put, everything is in the right place. Tassinaia is Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot aged in used French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2017." - 90 Points - Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate

WINERY:
"The estate of Castello del Terriccio is an extensive, 4,200-acre property located in the Tuscan coastal maremma at Castellina Marittima in the province of Livorno. The original estate dates from at least the mid-1800s, and was originally the property of the Gaetani family of Pisa. In 1921 Terriccio was acquired by the family of the father of the present owner, Dr. Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana Serafini Ferri. Dr. Rossi's father's family, the Rossi di Medelana, were aristocrats from Bologna; his mother's family, the counts Serafini-Ferri from Rome. Control remained in Rossi di Medelana hands until 1974, at which point an uncle of Dr. Rossi assumed management of the estate. Dr. Rossi took over Terriccio in 1994 as sole inheritor and director." -Importer

VITICULTURE:
"The Terriccio estate is geologically divided into two distinct areas: a northern half typified by white clay soils supporting cereals crops and a southern half lying on clay and rock appropriate to vineyards, olive trees and fruit trees. During the early 1990s, dominance of cereals began to give way to viticulture. The first vines were planted in 1989, and as of 2000 cover slightly over fifty acres. Red vines constitute the majority of plantings, with small plantings of white vines making up the balance. Cabernet Sauvignon represents 28.2 acres, slightly over half the vineyard area, followed by 16.9 acres in Sangiovese vines; the remaining five acres are planted to Merlot."

"Tassinaia, which means "place of the stones," or may alternately indicate a badger habitat from the Italian "tasso," or badger, occupies 37.5 acres of sandy, stony soil situated on a south-southwest exposed slope. Planted from the early 1990s primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese with the balance in Merlot vines, each variety in the vineyard is represented approximately in equal thirds in the wine. The microclimate's proximity to the coast subjects it to maritime influences which create a long, warm growing season of great luminosity. The grapes are hand-harvested between mid-September and early October, with pickers making two consecutive passes through the vineyards to permit the fullest and most perfect ripening of the clusters." -Importer

VINIFICATION:
"Red wine production is under the technical direction of consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini. The vinification facility, originally a grain-storage facility built in 1894, has been upgraded with the installation of the most technically advanced temperature-controlled conical stainless steel fermenters. Grapes are fully destemmed and undergo an extended maceration with the skins during and after fermentation. Total maceration time is approximately 20 to 24 days."

"Following malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred to Allier oak barriques during which period they are racked into stainless steel tanks for analysis before being returned to cleaned barrels. This takes place every four to five months, and the lots and clones remain separate until final blending in September. Barriques are used for three vintages. The first passage is for Lupicaia, and the interior of the barrels are then resurfaced and used for Tassinaia in the second and third years, customarily in the proportion of 80 percent second pass and 20 percent third pass, for a period of twelve to fourteen months. The wine receives only a rough filtration to remove gross lees prior to bottling."

"Tassinaia shows beautiful depth of color with a nose of black fruits and spice. Ripe, concentrated black and red raspberry fruit flavors are underscored by sweet, spicy oak and leather notes and a firm core of acidity in this wine, which is supported by a pronounced tannic backbone and a finish of finesse and power." -Importer

This wine also scored 88 points by the Wine Spectator and 88 points by Ian Dagata of Stephen Tanzer's Iternational Wine Cellar.
