Reviews

93 James Suckling -
Very ripe fruit aromas of cherries, as well as cedar. Full-bodied, layered and juicy. A delicious finish. A fruit-forward style underlying the richness of the vintage. Drink now.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
93 points for this up-coming-rockstar, relatively new producer and what a rich, velvety wine. From the generous and early-drinking 2011 vintage , what a treat this is TONIGHT to drink. Yes!

About the Producer

The Terre Nere estate stretches over 37 acres, at an elevation of 840 feet, 6 miles south-east of Montalcino. The vineyards are nestled in a setting of rare beauty, surrounded by pristine forests and where there is a micro climate ideal for vine cultivation. All the vineyards are in hilly areas and enjoy excellent sun exposure while being embraced by a constantly blowing breeze provided by Monte Amiata and Monte Nero. The Orcia river flows in the valley below the vines, moderating the temprature of a hot season. The dark terrain is composed of galestro, a mixture of loose marl and limestone. Galestro guarantees good drainage and forces the vines to sink their roots deep into the soil which results in healthy maturation of the grapes. The special dark galestro soil gives the winery its name Terre Nere.
