Winemaker Notes
This is a select and limited "Super Tuscan". The production is approximately 12,000 bottles per year.
The deep, intense ruby colour with garnet reflections, is an indication of the extraordinary depth, richness and complexity of this superb wine, a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, whose ample bouquet is reminiscent of spices. It could be best defined as a multi-dimensional wine, for the sensory richness evoked in the taster, not only on the nose and in the diversity of flavours, but in the textured sensation of volume actually lingering on the palate.
"A sumptuous bouquet of smoke, vanilla, tobacco, black currants and sweet leather is followed by beautifully textured wine with medium to full body, ripe fruit, fine purity, and a long, layered, seamless finish. It should drink well for 6-8 years."

Arillo in Terrabianca is located in the heart of Tuscany. It was acquired in 2019 by Adriana and Urs Burkard, a Swiss-Italian family. They own three estates: Terrabianca in Chianti Classico, Il Tesoro in Maremma and Colle Brezza in Val d'Orcia. Their goal with the brand is simply to make soulful wines with a strong identity and sense of place, all with respect for the environment.
While Terrabianca, the land and winery, have had a long history, the Burkard family only came into the picture a few years ago, renaming the winery Arillo in Terrabianca and bringing new energy and enthusiasm into the fold. As it is a family brand, the owners chose to reinterpret the Burkard family's coat of arms, commemorating it on the logo. The "Arillo in Terrabianca" label shows two stars and a castle on three hills with an oval reminiscent of the shape of a grape, "arillus" in Latin. The castle represents the strength of the family; the two stars (one for each son, Gregory and Ricardo) represent the future and continuity; and the hills symbolize the three estates: Terrabianca, il Tesoro and Colle Brezza.
