Score: 94Vintage 2018Wine AdvocatePerhaps a little green in character, I very much like the austerity of this vintage. The Castello del Terriccio 2018 Lupicaia is a little stern, but it's also playful with rosemary essence, ferrous earth, rust, licorice, chamomile flower and sour plum. The fruit is quite detailed in 2018 compared to the monotone 2017 vintage that I also tasted at the same time. You also get that distinctive note of eucalyptus that is always present in this wine. The wine shows lift and tart flavors that intersect with firm tannins. The sun-shaped logo on the front label is an Etruscan symbol that was found on a stone that was later donated to a museum in the town of Volterra. The estate is selling this vintage, but it also has a wide array of back vintages in stock.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
