Winemaker Tasting, Tuesday October 29: Tommaso Squarcia of Castello Tricerchi (Montalcino)

It takes a good deal of bravado to leave a successful family business in Rome and venture into a life of winemaking in the Tuscan countryside. But Tommaso Squarcia has bravado to spare, and it shows in his deeply transporting Brunellos.  Castello Tricerchi’s motto “non in latera pro nos”, was coined by one of the family’s famous 12th-century knights, Alessandro. The phrase translates to “never stand at the sides only,” which is exactly what Tommaso has done when it comes to winemaking. Not content to chase after the whims of fashion, he's adhering to a style of Sangiovese that’s almost Nebbiolo-esque: long macerations, large casks, and classically styled wines, completely traditional winemaking methods that allow the vineyards to fully express themselves. 4 wines.
