PV Tasting Notes

Dark ruby colour, 100% Merlot, with beautifully dark and ripe aromatics of ripe black cherry fruit and high floral tones, superb mouthfeel and mid palate, nicely balanced with all the component parts fruit, acidity and wood integrating well.

Independent Review

90 points – The Wine Advocate June 2007
The 2003 Villa Il Tesoro (100% Merlot) is redolent of jammy blueberries, licorice, tar, toasted oak and mint. Ample and generous on the palate, it offers outstanding length and a very finessed finish in a somewhat restrained style for the vintage. Anticipated maturity 2007-2018.
 

This stunning Merlot is perfect for Fillet of Beef Marchand de Vin (with wine and bone marrow) Roast Fillet of Beef but avoiding Beef Wellington, pasty dulls the palate. Roast lamb and Venison. However this is quite simply a joy to drink without any food accompaniments.

Located at the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Radda, Podere Terrabianca is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after estates in Tuscany. Roberto Guldener was 45 when he sold his fashion shop in Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich and bought the estate back in 1988. Today he runs the business with his wife and daughter and employs 38 people. They recently expanded into a second property, Tenuta Il Tesoro, which lies near the sea in the up and coming area of Massa Maritimma in the Maremma region, where they have also established a fantastic hotel. Campaccio, a sensory blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet is the flagship wine.
