Consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini oversees the winemaking at Castello del Terriccio, which is located in the province of Pisa, in the northern part of Maremma. “Vintage 2003 must be considered entirely on its own, it really bears no resemblance to any other year,” says Ferrini. “It was extremely difficult to find balance in the vineyard. The wines continue to have a completely unpredictable evolution in the bottle. You taste a wine today, then taste it again in a few months' time and you are likely to come away with two distinctly different impressions. Certainly the more representative vintages for Tuscany are 1999, 2001, 2004, and more recently 2006.”
