Castello Tricerchi, Iuli'o IGP

Castello Tricerchi is a super star in Montalcino, widely appreciated by international wine critics and media including James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast and Falstaff. Their wines have been featured in James Suckling’s Great Wines of Italy. The Tricerchi family was a part of the Sienese oligarchy back in the 12th century. They have established Castello Tricerchi in 1441, and today lived and managed by their 17th generation, the Squarcia family. The estate extends for 400 hectares on the north side of Montalcino, using organic agricultural practice. The vineyards, planted in 1995, cultivated with Sangiovese at 300 meters above sea level with north and west exposure. This position benefits from the unique microclimate and terroir of the north side of Montalcino, cooler and more protected, guaranteeing constant ripening of the grapes, for wines of marked freshness and elegance. Our highly rated Tricerchi selection includes their top value Rosso di Montalcino, their flagship Brunello di Montalcino which is a gourmand wine offering great complexity and structure, and the special cuvee “Anno Domini 1441”, being extremely limited in production (merely 2,000 bottles for vintage 2016) available during the best vintages.
