Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The Ruhne family, started making wine in Chianti Classico in 1988. The vineyards and wines have been certified organic since 2014. Today Terreno is 100 percent self-sufficient to satisfy the needs of the estate.
The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva has inviting aromas of ripe cherries, forest berries and peppery spices with a taste of finely preserved fruit and hints of chocolate and tobacco. A full-bodied, age worthy wine with a marked freshness and high elegant tannins. The wine is perfect with risotto with Tuscan pecorino and salsiccia or a tender bistecca alla fiorentina and with rich soups with lentils and chickpeas."

91 Points - Wine Advocate
"Made with certified organic fruit, the 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva is 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Colorino. These grapes work well together to highlight dark fruit flavors, toasted spice, mahogany and more savory notes at the back. The wine ages in botte grande for 24 months. It remains true to the territory with a fresh, mid-weight consistency. Production is 8,000 bottles." -ML, 2/9/23
