From Maria Grazia Guerrieri. Lush perfumed red fruit on the nose, burst of red fruit on the palate with hefty center and long finish, this stuff is well worth the freight of $18.99. 13% alc/vol. With California Pizza Kitchen's pepperoni pizza. Wonderful!

Sounds great! Is this the label?

No, but it's the same producer. Instead of Terra di Ripanera, it says Ripanera and is a Chianti Classico rather than a table wine. Also, the alc level is 13% rather than the 12% of the Terra. Here's the label and description of the 2002:
