Winemaker Notes
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.
