“The 2020 Campaccio Collezione is one of the finest wines I have tasted from Arillo in Terrabianca (and its predecessor, Terrabianca) in some time. Bright acids cut through a core of blood orange and pomegranate fruit. Cinnamon, cedar and new leather follow, adding further shades of nuance. It’s great to see the estate coming back to its previous level of quality.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jul. 2024

“The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Terrabianca is another terrific wine in this range from Arillo in Terrabianca. Black cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, incense, licorice and mocha are beautifully amplified in this resonant, super-expressive Gran Selezione. All the elements are very nicely balanced.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jul. 2024

This is perfumed and so characterful with plenty of tropical and floral notes as well as a solid, mineral backbone. Pineapple, candied citrus fruit, honeysuckle, rose hips and crushed stones on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with steady acidity. Crunchy, fresh and firm. Very well made.
