Very attractive aromas of black currants and flowers follow through to a full body, with lovely, fine tannins and an orange peel, chocolate and mineral flavor. Polished and pretty. A blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. From the Bulgari family, the Italian jewelers. Better in 2015.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Therra, on the other hand, immediately spells out a bouquet that is both focused and elegant. These two vintages represent two sides of the same coin. The blend components are the same as are the percentages of each variety used. But the bouquet veers in a completely new direction: Instead of ripe fruit you get a dollop of exotic spice and savory cured meat. The mouthfeel is also very different compared to 2009. This wine presents a precise acidity component backed by firmly polished tannins. The 2010 vintage is built for longer cellar aging. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. Rating: 91+

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
