A lovely juicy wine with very soft and polished tannins ripe and smoky fruit and a long and beautiful finish. This is gorgeous. The best Terrabianca in years. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2003. 7915 cases made.

One of Terrabianca's finest cuvees is Campaccio. The 1997 (a 6000-case blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged one year in primarily French oak) is a complex deep ruby-colored wine displaying scents of saddle leather dried Provencal herbs and subtle toasty oak. It is medium to full-bodied with excellent depth superb purity and an open-knit complex structured personality. Delicious now it promises to evolve for 7-8 years.
