An unusual 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo, named after the vineyard where the estate's old Canaiolo vines grow. Released as Toscana IGT, Terrine shows a softer, riper, more opulent profile than the estate's DOCG wines — plump cherry and berry fruit with notes of chocolate, iris, tobacco, and baking spice, described by some tasters as 'Chianti meets Pomerol'. Aged in French oak.
Rare among Chianti-area wines for its 50/50 Sangiovese-Canaiolo blend — plusher and more perfumed than any Chianti Classico in the range.
New to wine?
Softer and more immediately pleasurable than the estate's DOCG wines — a good entry point for Canaiolo lovers.
Food Pairings
Duck breast, braised lamb, mushroom-based dishes, and rich pasta with truffle or porcini — its riper, plusher fruit loves earthy, savory partners.
When to drink it
Autumn and winter dinners, dishes with mushrooms or game, relaxed gatherings.
