The grapes of Tassinaia come from 37.5 acres of vineyards with sandy, stony soil and a moderating maritime climate characterised by a long ripening season. On the label, two green segments symbolise the grassland of Terriccio. Tassinaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This big, structured wine has blackberry, blackcurrant, herb and tar aromas with tobacco, cedar, and vanilla notes before dense, rich and round plum and cherry on the palate. Soft tannins broaden out in the mouth in a long finish.
