The dark ruby-colored 1998 Le Terrine, an unusual blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Canaiolo, spent 12 months in French oak prior to bottling. The complex bouquet reveals scents of black fruits, flowers, and subtle minerals. Complex, supple-textured, and lush, this intriguing, character-filled, mid-weight Italian red will drink well for 5-6 years.
