| "This
lean, spicy red has delicate sangiovese aromas of rose and green
peppercorns." 88 Wine & Spirits April 2006 |
|
This producer is
new to
our portfolio this fall 2005. 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.
While Chiantis
of the
Colli Senesi appellation often charm you with bright, fresh cherry
fruit, ours
takes that several steps further. Complexity is key. Dark cherries.
Earthiness.
Warmth. Aromas and flavors that go on and on and on. Only a tiny bit of
this
wine is made. We're betting you are going to like this one a lot.
