Falling outside the Chianti Classico bottlings, the 2019 Campaccio is mostly Sangiovese with the addition of 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. A polished bouquet lifts from the glass with aromas of black raspberries, fresh leather, cardamom, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, it’s weightless on the palate, with ripe tannins and an even spine of acidity, and it has lovely length on the finish, with hints of mocha and wet stone.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, the Arillo in Terrabianca 2019 Campaccio shows elegant restraint with hints of cinnamon and sweet oak that frame a core of dark fruit. If you remember the old Campaccio, you will recognize the wine's black label and the fonts used in the design. Stylistically speaking, however, this wine has evolved over the years to show a much more tapered and graceful approach today. Pretty mineral notes create a final signature.

Aromas of sour cherries, orange peel and some flowers follow through to a medium to full body with creamy, velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Give this three or four years to soften.

Bing cherry and vanilla open the nose on this wine, followed by tobacco leaf, cigar box and finally herbaceous, woodsy notes of mint, mushroom and damp underbrush. It offers cherry, vanilla and chocolate on the palate, with hints of pepper and balsamic on the back. The tannins cling and the acid hits back.
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.
