The Winery

Tenuta di Arceno

Rich in history, Tenuta di Arceno is an ancient Tuscan estate that has been a center for winemaking since the 16th century. Tenuta di Arceno has a diverse portfolio of the highest quality wines across two classification levels – three wines centered on the native Sangiovese grape in the Chianti Classico DOCG collection; and three wines celebrating the estate's international varieties under the Toscana IGT designation. The estate is situated at the southernmost edge of Chianti Classico. Its location near the fork of two rivers – the Ambra and the Ombrone – this area was formerly the nexus of the Etruscan civilization. In honor of its history, the reference to "Arceno" comes from the Etruscan word archè, meaning "point of origin."

Tasting Notes

WA93
The 2011 Arcanum is a blend of 77% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot aged in new French oak for up to one year. The wine is extraordinarily black and dense in appearance with virtually no light penetration. The bouquet is equally rich and generous with black fruit, prune, spice, leather and black olive aromas. The natural tannic astringency of the wine is apparent on the palate and adds to the wine`s firm structure and power.
