Arcanum 2018 Red

From The Winemaker

Arcanum is the pinnacle of the estate's offerings. Based on Cabernet Franc, the true signature of this Tuscan estate, this remarkable red wine is built to age yet is drinkable young. It is a wine that is seductive yet subtle. This red wine offers aromas of violets, roses and raspberries, with long and delicate flavors of spices and red and dark fruit notes; it is a red wine that is seductive yet subtle. This Red Wine has a Cork closure. Alcohol Content: 14.5% Pair with grilled ribeye, rack of lamb and osso bucco. Arcanum is sourced primarily from the Cabernet Franc vineyard blocks l’Apparita and Belvedere. With superb exposure and sandy clay soils, these blocks shine to produce the finest expression of the variety, and the leading wine of the estate. The l’Apparita vineyard is located slightly above the entrance tunnel to the estate and lies at 400 meters (1300 feet) above sea level. It was planted in 1998 and is one of the first vineyards dedicated to Cabernet Franc.
