Winemaker Notes
Il Fauno di Arcanum is a Bordeaux-style blend that embodies the diversity of the estate and is sourced primarily from the Arceno di Sotto, La Curva, Colombaio and San Giovanni blocks. Located in the lower southwest section of the estate, in a warmer, exposed subsection that ripens early, the soils possess a significant amount of clay, with good water retention, and produce wines that tend to be more voluptuous and lush.
The nose exudes black cherries, wild honey, and sweet mint. This full-bodied wine immediately finds every nook and cranny of the palate, framed and defined by an intense minerality. Flavors of dark plums, sweet roses, dried fruits such as fig and apricot are enhanced by black pepper and exotic spice characters. The finish is vibrant and uplifting, with bright acid and a hint of cedary oak.
