"Lupicaia (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot) is said to be influenced by the eucalyptus trees that border the vineyard. Indeed, spicy green notes reminiscent of pungent peppercorn distinguish this wine and are at the core of a complex embroidery of aromas that include black fruit, spice and vanilla. Hold for five years."

"A very exciting wine with amazing elegance and linearity that delivers intense aromas of licorice, menthol, toast and pressed blackberry. It boasts a penetrating intensity in terms of its ruby color and in the mouth where firm tannins are followed by lingering freshness on the finish."

"This is a first-class interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon with a fine point of chopped parsley embellished by contrasting aromas of leather, dark chocolate and plum. It's compact and composed on the palate with a refined smoky quality, dusty tannins and lingering menthol freshness."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:

"From what was once called Castello del Terriccio comes this Tuscan blend of Cabernet and a little Merlot. It has fine-grained cinnamon oak on the nose, but not too much stuffing backing it up. Still, it's a very good red that offers black cherry, plum and coffee notes. That said, it runs a bit heavy with tobacco and leather, especially on the nose."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
93 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2002 with 93 of 100 points.
"A Type-A wine if ever there was one. It's high-voltage Cabernet, with just a touch of Merlot, and it's layered with cassis, buttery oak, and some toast. The mouthfeel is full but elegant, with mint and clove nuances poking through to impact the bold currant-laden palate. A smooth, well-oaked, persistent finish is the encore. Can easily be aged for a decade."
