    Tenuta di Arceno

    About Tenuta di Arceno

    The breathtakingly beautiful Tenuta di Arceno can trace its winemaking history back to the 16th Century. Located in the stunning commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga within Chianti Classico, the estate was owned first by the Del Taja family and then the Piccolomini family, two of Italy’s most prominent vinous families. Eventually, the estate was purchased by the titanic Jackson Family Wines of California, adding significant financial heft to the extraordinary terroir and talented team at the ancient property.

    Considerable investment has, in more ways than one no doubt, paid dividends and their flagship cuvée Arcanum is one of the region’s finest. A Cabernet Franc-based blend sourced from the estate’s L’Apparita and Belvedere blocks, the terroir of which is a magical combination of perfect sun exposure and sandy-clay terroir. Completed with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot in true Super Tuscan Bordeaux-blend style, the wine is then aged for 12 months in 80% new French oak.

    It would be impossible to exaggerate the grandeur and majesty of the overachieving 2015 Arcanum. The blend is 74% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. This full-bodied wine is mostly defined by its texture that is exceedingly rich and smooth with significant infusions of blackberry, plum, spice, tobacco and cured leather. The wine achieves beautiful balance, yet it remains intense and powerful all the while.

    Today covering almost 17 hectares, the estate's Cabernet Franc is subject to a broad as much as a severe selection, which has improved the wines. It was sourced from a single plot in 2008, while this 2016 comes from 10 different plots. The French clones (326 - 327) can be problematic according to winemaker Pierre Seillan: 'With too high yields, too much herbal character is achieved, while with a tight leaf canopy it wouldn't ripen properly'. Cabernet Franc is not new to producing outstanding wines in Tuscany, and Seillant is not new to managing this grape variety in pursuit of excellence. Crimson in colour, it has a super restrained Cab Franc character of cassis and eucalyptus, with an almost citrus flavour in depth and a sweet, toasty finish of milk chocolate, liquorice and cacao powder. This 2016 is sleek and concentrated, with ripe, refined tannins and refreshing acidity. A full and tense wine.
