Winemaker Notes

Therra 2012 has a ruby red color with dark purple and almost black hues. Hints of wild berries, black fruits, cocoa, leather, toasty, mint, and freshly cut wood. The taste is spicy with balsamic notes, hot and strong, the end is dry and clean.

This wine is best served with timballi di pasta (pasta cake), red meat dishes including T-bone steak, mushrooms, pecorino cheese, Goa curry pork and tandoori chicken; sautéed aromatic beef; Churrasco; Yakiniku and Tataki, and spicy Sichuan cuisine.

Professional Ratings

    A firm and fresh wine with currants, berries and flowers. Medium to full body and a bright finish. This is lively and focused.
  • 92
    Like the other wines from Podernuovo a Palazzone, the 2012 Therra shows a very focused and precise personality. This is a lovely and well balanced red blend based on Sangiovese with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano and Merlot. The bouquet is seamless and smooth. The mouthfeel is never too heavy despite the wine's obvious structure and power. This red has the grit and determination to pair with hearty Tuscan meat dishes. It should age steadily over the next ten years or more.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
