This modern and opulent take on the vibrant, herbal-tinged reds of Tuscany's historic Chianti hills will win over a lot of wine lovers! The Arceno estate has been putting out wine for centuries, but it was California wine pioneer, Jess Jackson, who gave it new life when he bought it in 1994. Here in the southern Castelnuovo Berardenga region, you can find a generosity of fruit character equaled by rich tannins. For their classic everyday bottling, Arceno leans into this character by pairing their Sangiovese with a bit of Merlot, and aging it 10 months in seasoned, small French oak barrels.
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "This red is sleek and engaging, offering cherry, raspberry, blackberry and mineral aromas and flavors. Harmonious, with beautifully integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and detailed. Sangiovese and Merlot."
