NEBBIOLO

 

This Cru best interprets Traditional Barolo: the strength, fullness and longevity typical of this area. Aromas of dark cherries, roses, and tar dominate the nose, classic Nebbiolo notes. The palate is firm and tannic, with flavours of dried cherries, leather, and a hint of medicinal herbs. The astringent tannins leave a slightly drying sensation on the finish.

Sangiovese

 

An evolved bouquet with aromas of dried fruit, forest floor, crushed flower and autumnal leaf. On a second nose, you get dark licorice, wet slate, cola and grilled rosemary. The tannins are powdery and dry.

 

96 Points, Vinuous

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today.

Cabernet franc

Arcanum is the pinnacle of the estate’s offerings. A pure Cabernet Franc and true signature of the estate, this remarkable wine is built to age 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. Arcanum is sourced from 12 different blocks of Cabernet Franc that each year, thanks to their superb exposure and sandy clay soils, produce the finest expression of the variety for the leading wine of the estate. A Cabernet Franc that embodies a sense-of-place, distinctive of the diverse micro-crus of each vineyard block hand-selected for this vintage. Aromas of sweet oregano, mint and tart cherries are familiar to the nose on this Tuscan single-varietal wine. The palate is soft and round, framed by subtle acid. A core of fresh blueberries, dark chocolate and salted caramel are balanced by a long, elegant finish with hints of licorice, cedar and tobacco. A powerful, expressive Cabernet Franc to be enjoyed for decades.

 

 

 95 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This wine is now a 100% expression of Cabernet Franc. The 2017 Arcanum is the top-shelf red from Tenuta di Arceno. It is a rich, almost meaty wine, with dark fruit, savory tobacco, smoked bacon and sweet earth. What distinguishes this hot-vintage wine, however, are the rosemary and dried lavender that give this wine an authentically Tuscan personality. This is really quite nice.

Ruby red with garnet hints. Velvety and full bodied. Typically pure and distinctive aromas of red cherry, raspberry, white pepper and tobacco, with spicy notes. Pair with red meats and savoury cheeses with medium-long ageing.

 

92 Points, James Suckling (previous vintage)

Attractive aromas of spiced cherries, blood orange and subtle notes of cocoa powder and bark. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and compact with a slightly chewy but fine tannin structure. Steady and lengthy.

trebbiano, malvasia

 

A blend of three native grapes. It has refreshing lemon and green apple notes, some minerally sensations and a little breadiness. On the palate, it's refreshing, citric and savoury with lots of bright acidity.

 

This wine is from the northwest part of Lazio, near the border with Umbria. Legend has it that a bishop traveling to Rome would send a scout ahead of time to establish which inns were offering the best wines and he'd mark them with the word "Est" (which translates to “it is” in Latin). When he reached Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout noted “Est! Est!! Est!!!” on the local inn’s front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story.

CHARDONNAY

 

This Chardonnay shines in brilliant straw yellow with a fruity bouquet of exotic notes, ripe apples and light floral aromas. On the palate, the wine is elegant and mild with an interesting finish. The ideal companion to Mediterranean cuisine, pasta or fish dishes, especially freshwater fish (trout, pike or salmon).

The vintage 2024 presents itself with excellent quality. After an unstable spring with rain at the time of flowering, the start of the summer was characterized by fresh temperatures, which required attention and increased work in the vineyards. July and August, on the other hand, were dry with wonderful summer weather. The high temperatures and plenty of sunshine in midsummer created ideal conditions for the ripening process of the grapes, which resulted in well-balanced grapes with good pH, acidity- and sugar levels. Overall, the harvest was smaller in terms of quantity, but the quality is excellent.
