2005 Tenuta di Arceno Arcanum Toscana IGT

Estate: Tenuta di Arceno

Tasting Note:February 09, 2017

Deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. Earthy attack on the nose with leather, bark and iron. A bit of candied fruit, especially red cherries and cassis. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Nice aged characteristics on this Bordeaux blend from Italy, but does not lack in fruits. Tons of red cherries with earthy and green undertones. Great acidity. Delicious dryness in the long finish.

The flagship wine of Tenuta di Arceno. Right Bank blend of 48% Cabernet Franc, 28% Merlot, and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon.
