Terrabianca
Campaccio Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Held up well over the last 28 years! Took a gamble on some birthday wine and it payed off well. Prominent bricking and the cork obviously fell apart, but the wine maintained the rustic, leathery notes of age, with hints of black tea, overripe plum, and some lingering acidic energy, like a ripe strawberry with some dark chocolate. Medium bodied, with some leathery, smoky ash over the dark cherry like fruit, there’s notes of cranberry and strawberry compote still alive in here. The finish lingers for a while, fresh, but not acidic with tannins that only really started to show after a few hours of opening. Grippy, but well integrated. If the measure of a great wine is in its ability to last, this wine has earned the title despite poor storage conditions and lack of faith from its sellers.

A wine after my heart! This 2008 IGT was drinkable right out of the bottle but I decided to decant it for a few hours while I cooked dinner. Im glad I did--I was rewarded with an incredibly well-balanced wine. A smoky reddish robe envelops the glass while on the palette strong notes of red fruit, black coffee, leather, mint and dark chocolate. This wine reminds me why the Super Tuscans still provide the most bang for the buck.
