Light citrus notes are surrounded by pleasant hints of sour cherry. The nose is enriched by nuances of black pepper, cloves, peppermint and licorice.
The palate is wide with a long lasting finish, thanks to a dense and elegant tannic texture. The acid backbone guarantees longevity and balance to the wine.
The Gran Selezione Terrabianca originates from a Cru planted over forty years ago with a single Sangiovese clone [T19]; its exposure and position confer unique and unrepeatable climatic conditions from which a wine of great concentration and quality, is produced in limited quantities.
The year 2019 was featured by spring rains, which allowed vital water reserves, suitable for a hot summer with low rainfall. The slightly harsher and wetter weather in the first half of the year slightly delayed the vine’s growth cycle compared to recent years. A hot but regular summer, with some peaks of temperature without precipitation, was followed by a September with nice weather and good temperature ranges, which accompanied gradually the phenolic ripening of the grapes.
