Terra d'Arcoiris was established in 1987
by Paola
Leonardi and Walter Loesch in the village of Chianciano in Tuscany.
They
planted Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia Nera, Malvasia Bianca, Trebbiano
Toscano, Foglio Tonda, Mazzese, Cigliegiolo, Merlot and Syrah vines, ALL
ORGANICALLY GROWN. Tasting Notes: One whiff, one
taste, and you can feel the
passion that went into making this wine. It sings with aromas and
flavors of
earthy dark cherries. Chewy in texture, this fine Chianti, aged just
three
months in barriques, is full in body, with a long, long finish.
