Rich and refined blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Petit Verdot. Flavours of blueberry muffin, kirsch, rosemary and a touch of saltiness
The wine
Despite its age, this well-developed 2013 vintage of Villa Pinciana Terraria is still so incredibly fresh. The flavour of blueberry has evolved, and is now more like blueberry muffin. It’s underpinned by flavours of kirsch, rosemary and a touch of saltiness from the nearby Tyrrhenian sea.
We became very interested in this wine when we learned that the 2012 vintage was served on Pope Francis’ private flight. Apparently His Holiness drank it on an Apostolic visit to Mozambique (pictured). We humbly thought that, if it was good enough for His Holiness, it should be good enough for our customers, too. The next vintage (2013) went on to lift the Platinum Medal from Decanter; achieving a very impressive score of 97 points.
