Arillo in Terrabianca Campaccio 2020

The 2020 Campaccio is packed with dark-toned fruit, leather, spice, licorice and mocha. Ample and resonant on the palate, this heady blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot offers tons of textural intensity and power to burn. Even so, all the elements are impeccably balanced.

The savory nose of damp earth, mixed herbs and rocks draws nuance from an undertone of dried tomato, which sweetens on the palate to push back more forcefully on an enduring savoriness. A sprinkling of tart currants sets up a bitter chocolate finish, where tannins glide past crackling acid like ice skaters past a glittering Christmas tree.

A delicious, well-balanced and attractive red. On the nose aromas of red berries, mild spices and some undergrowth dominate. It's medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Refined texture with a seductive berry character in the finish. Drink or hold.
