2016 Tenuta di Arceno "Arcanum" 0,75lt.
This beautifully complex pure Cabernet Franc wine expresses the herbal signature of this variety, with aromas of ripe plums, sweet mint, sage and thyme.
The luscious palate gives way to cherries, wild strawberries and licorice followed by hints of cedar and toast. The finish lingers with undertones of white pepper and truffle. A truly elegant wine to be enjoyed for years to come. Arcanum is the pinnacle of the estate’s offerings.
98 POINTS DECANTER
94 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING
95 POINTS FALSTAFF
Based on Cabernet Franc, the true signature of the estate, it has been sourced over the years primarily from the Apparita and Belvedere blocks of Cabernet Franc.
We are
proud to introduce
the 2016 Arcanum, the first vintage composed of 100%
Cabernet Franc from different vineyard blocks at the estate.
Particularly 12 blocks — each one with superb exposure on
sandy clay soils — excel every year producing the finest
expressions of the variety. Arcanum is built to age remarkably
yet is drinkable young, offering aromas of violets, roses and
raspberries, with long and delicate spice notes; it is a wine
that is seductive yet subtle. The estate produces three premium Toscana IGT wines: the flagship Cabernet Franc-led blend, Arcanum; a Merlot-based blend, Valadorna; and a blend of international varieties, il fauno di Arcanum.e.
