A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, Terraria is a balance and full wine, on the palate it continues to give sensations coherent with the olfactory phase.
The Cabernet Sauvignon vine originates from the Bordeaux region, the Medoc and Graves areas in particular. It is one of the most widespread vines in the world and is particularly adapted for producing high quality wines with long ageing processes. The Cabernet Sauvignon adapts to the most diverse climate conditions and wine production techniques, as per its name: sauvage, wild.
It produces wines that are intense in colour, rich in tannin and aromatic flavours, and which have a successful ageing process. The structure of this vine allows for long macerations and improvement in barriques, which lead to the development over time of a complex and fascinating bouquet.
The Sangiovese expresses the viticultural and wine making identity of Tuscany, it is the undisputed king of red wines from central Italy where it is present almost everywhere and has extremely ancient roots which date back to the times of the Etruscans who gave it the Latin name of sanguis Jovis. The flavours of the Sangiovese mainly come from red and black berries: blackberries, strawberries, cherries, sour black cherries, raspberries and blueberries. As far as the Maremma terrain is concerned, it is characterised by a good level of acidity, which allows the Sangiovese to have a long ageing process and an excellent minerality thanks to the terrains geology and especially fruity aromas due to the warm temperatures and the vicinity of the sea.
Unclear origins, probably from the Gironde. Very common grape planted in Bordeaux, mostly in the Medoc. It is used to give structure to the classic Bordeaux blend for the extra fragrance and to improve acidity.
