40% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot
Lively ruby color with notes of blackberries, cacao, and roasted almond. Balanced and harmonious on the palate with an excellent structure.
93pts - James Suckling "Aromas of violets and lavender on the nose. Hints of rosemary. Crushed berries. Medium to full body. Firm tannins with hints of wood. Needs time to come together. Very pretty. Drink after 2020."
92pts - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate "The 2016 Campaccio (Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) is robust and soft, peeling back layers of dark fruit, spice, leather and tobacco. This wine offers a high level of richness and concentration, however it does not feel heavy or too thick. The wine's fiber is firm and tight enough to pair with roast chicken or a hearty steak, either way. With 170,000 bottles made, you get good value here."
The first document testifying the existence of a rural property called “Terra Bianca,” meaning “white soil” due to the light-colored soil, is dated 1223. The Terrabianca we all know, however, began nearly a thousand years later, in 1988.
In the late 1980s and early ’90s, the vineyards were overhauled. The vines, which had been last planted in the 1950s and ’60s, were planted for quantity, not quality. This reflected the change in thinking in Italian viniculture at the end of the 20th century. The new planting system focuses on planting with higher density and uses new select clones. As a result, the vineyards began producing higher-quality grapes suited to Terrabianca’s wines.
The property covers 306 acres of vineyards, olive groves, and woodland. The second estate with an additional 222 acres was added in recent years, 43 miles away and close to Massa Marittima, in Maremma. The second property is called “Il Tesoro,” or “Treasure.”
Shortly after its modern-day foundation, Terrabianca became a major Tuscan star and the wines have reaped countless accolades worldwide – both for their quality and the stunning design of the labels and bottles.The success story of Terrabianca started with Roberto and Maya Guldener in 1988 in the heart of Chianti Classico region. The winery now called Arillo in Terrabianca is approaching a new epoch with the change of ownership with Adriana and Urs Burkard, a like-minded, equally committed family of Swiss and Italian origin.
