Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Classico 2013
Tuscany, ItalyTenuta di Arceno is a 1000-hectare property with classic rolling hillside vineyards, forests and medieval stone castles. Over the last two decades the vineyards have been replanted and expanded into a series of micro-crus relating to the property’s 12 distinct meso-climates. The fruit is bright but cool with fine aromatics. Red berries and floral aromas lead into a juicy, vibrant red with earthy, peaty forest floor tones, liquorice, ripe black cherries and savoury, dried herb nuances. The textures are soft and round and the fruit similar with a slightly tangy finish. Wild boar pappardelle is the perfect match, or a piece of pecorino cheese. The mix is 85/15 sangiovese/merlot.Tasted: 06 June 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
