Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Terrabianca's 2015 Campaccio is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This vintage puts the identifying qualities of all varieties on immediate display. This is one of the nicest things to admire in this Tuscan red blend. You get the powerful aromas of black cherry and chocolate that are associated with Cabernet Sauvignon, with some notes that are green or medicinal. At the same time, you can taste that zesty and acidic freshness of the Sangiovese. Merlot adds rich softness. These grapes complement each other very well in the 2015 vintage that provided ample heat for easy and balanced ripeness. There is a hollow moment on the mid-palate, but the wine is otherwise confident in terms of its textural importance.

Loads of fresh primary fruit with blueberry skin, bananas and freshly baked blackberry crumble. Medium to full body, plenty of fresh blue fruit and a medium-chewy finish. Drink now.
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.
