Appearance: Presents a dazzling deep ruby red color with intense and vibrant high-layered garnet hues, denoting supreme clarity and the formation of dense, slow, and extremely elegant legs that coat the entire glass.

Nose: High intensity, clean, and of great complexity. The Magnum format magnifies the clarity of its aromatic layers, unfurling notes of blueberry jam, prunes, and wild blackberries, magnificently blended with threads of bitter cocoa, tanned leather, sweet spices (clove, cinnamon), and a persistent balsamic background of eucalyptus, licorice, and mineral graphite.

Palate: Its entry is majestic, broad, and enveloping. On the palate, it unfolds a sumptuous fleshiness and an impeccable medium-high body; thanks to the Magnum format, its tannins are perceived as extremely round, polished, and velvety. It possesses a vibrant natural acidity that provides a mineral freshness and superb palatal tension, guiding the wine towards a dry, aristocratic, eternal finish full of spicy aftertastes.

Festive Gastronomic Pairing: Due to its sumptuous structure, polished tannins in Magnum format, and excellent Tuscan freshness, it is the ideal partner for banquets and hearty dishes designed to be shared at large tables. It harmonizes celestially with premium marbled red meat cuts such as Rib Eye, Tomahawk, Cowboy, or bone-in cuts prepared on the grill or over hardwood coals. It is the absolute companion for classic *Bistecca alla Fiorentina*, wood-fired lamb ribs, stews of larger game (wild boar or venison), and slow-cooked osso buco. It pairs impeccably with traditional oven-baked lasagnas, artisanal pastas with rich ragu, porcini mushroom risottos with truffle, and sumptuous platters of aged cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, old Pecorino, smoked Gouda) and fine cured meats. In high-end Mexican cuisine, it perfectly embraces the opulence of Oaxacan black mole or picanha tacos with a dry chili crust.

Suggested Moments:

• Special Celebration of Grand Milestones: The 1.5 Liter format is the ultimate emblem of celebration and victory. Ideal for uncorking at weddings, significant anniversaries, graduations, or baptisms, adding absolute elegance to every glass.
• Festive Family Meal: The perfect bottle to place at the center of the table for the most memorable gatherings of the year (Christmas, New Year, special birthdays); yielding twice as much as a common bottle, it encourages collective toasts and togetherness.
• Gift of Absolute Distinction for Oenophiles: A monumental gift for collectors or lovers of Tuscan wine. A Magnum bottle of Therra is a coveted piece that immediately stands out in any personal cellar.

Why is the Magnum (1.5L) format superior for aging Therra wine?

The Magnum format is considered by sommeliers and critics to be the noblest bottle size for cellaring. Containing 1500 ml of liquid but maintaining almost the same amount of air under the cork as a standard bottle, the micro-oxygenation process is twice as slow. This allows Therra to develop a subtle evolution, better preserving its fruity freshness and polishing its tannins with incomparable finesse.

What grape varieties make up this blend and what do they contribute to the wine?

Therra Magnum is composed of Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The native Italian grapes (Montepulciano and Sangiovese) provide the backbone characterized by refreshing acidity, floral notes, and Tuscan mineral tension, while the international varietals (Cabernet and Merlot) add volume on the palate, sumptuousness, notes of black fruits, and ripe tannins with great structure.

Is it advisable to decant the Magnum edition before serving?

Yes, as it is a 1.5 Liter format with a slower evolution and a great structure, it is highly advisable to decant it slowly for a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes before consumption. This allows the wine to oxygenate properly, expand aromatically, and reveal its notes of cocoa, spices, and balsamic undertones with total clarity.

What is the ideal serving temperature and its aging potential in a cellar?

To appreciate its imposing volume, freshness, and aromatic richness in a balanced way without the alcoholic temperature standing out, it should be served strictly between 16°C and 18°C. Thanks to the natural virtues of the Magnum bottle and its impeccable mineral balance, it has an extraordinary aging potential in a cellar of 10 to 15 years when stored horizontally.
