First document to mention Terrabianca dated 1085: two centuries before Dante. Located 35 miles from Florence, in the heart of Chianti. A blend of 70% Sangiovese & 30% Cab Sauv, aged for 12 months in French & American oak. Dark Ruby with aromas of berry fruit and light toasty oak. On the palate cherry and ripe plum, a bit of spice and oak with a savory edge. Well balanced soft tannins, complex yet elegant. Lingering ending with fresh fruit and a little earthy mineral. A Fav!

Had another bottle tucked away in the cellar. A blend of 70% Sangiovese & 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Very dark ruby color with sweet dark fruit on the nose. The Wine was still tight and needed 30 minutes to open. The palate shows rich very ripe cherry and raspberry flavors, gentle spice and toasty oak, well-structured tannins on the lingering finish. A great Chianti Classico!

Nice value and consistent! Great wine for bolognese. Funkified earth, dried cherries, red currant, rose water and herbs. Good balance between the grippy tannins and the broad acidity. Lay it down for a few years, (I'm impatient) decant it, or use your glass as a decanter and swirl.

The wine is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon (I love the smoothness Italian Cab gives to a blend). Pouring a glass the wine was a deep Ruby red color and gave off aromas of dark berry fruits and spice. The palate shows ripe raspberry and blueberry hints, good acidity, balance and depth with fine grain tannins. The finish ended with a slight toasty spice, a touch of leather, smooth and lingering. The wine is tasting well now and has room to age.
