The Family
The story of Terrabianca intertwines in 2019 with that of the Italo-Swiss Burkard’s family. It is Adriana and Urs, with the acquisition of the Terrabianca and Il Tesoro estates, who change the destiny of this winery, driven by the desire to give life to a project rooted into the Tuscan oenological culture that aims to become a contemporary eco-sustainable business model.
The passion for wine and an enterprising spirit have always been part of the Burkards. For Adriana, the bond with the land and the hospitality are her family heritage, and have their roots in Italy. When still as a child, she used to follow her maternal grandparents about their work in the farm, in the vineyard and in the preparation of the house wine the “Lambrusco”. It is during these time, that Adriana develops a profound respect for the Land and for the art of cultivating it. A passion, that over the years has matured into a purpose of life. Also, thanks to the experience with her father's family - founder of the 'Zeffirino' brand, a symbol of the Italian gastronomy in the world, that Adriana learned the culture of hospitality. Over the years, Adriana's dynamism and insight along with a philanthropic vision, have been complementary to Urs strong entrepreneurial competences giving rise to the 'Arillo in Terrabianca' project.
Our logo
Arillo in
Terrabianca
Reinterpreting the Burkard family’s coat of arms, Adriana and Urs have created the logo “Arillo in Terrabianca”: two stars and a castle on three hills, inscribed in an oval reminiscent of the shape of a grape, “arillus” in Latin.
The castle represents the solidity of the family; the two stars account for the future and the continuity through the Burkard’s sons, Gregor and Ricardo; the hills symbolize the three estates: Terrabianca, Il Tesoro and Colle Brezza. Past, Present and Future interlace around one of the founding values of the project: Give Respect, Receive Excellence.
