2021 il fauno di Arcanum

$45.00

il fauno di Arcanum is a blend of international varieties 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 voluptuous and lush.

Harvest Notes

A spectacular vintage in the Chianti Classico region. A mild, wet winter provided an optimal growing season. With sufficient water reserves from the rainfall, the vines endured the hot and dry summer well. Noticeable diurnal shifts at the estate are showcased in this near-perfect vintage through lower yields and high-quality grapes expressing vibrant, concentrated acidity and powerful tannins.

Tasting Notes

The immediate impression of this wine is power. Layered aromas of rose petals, ripe plum and white pepper spice are prominent on the nose. Enticing flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate and licorice explode on the palate upon first taste. Subtle tannins culminate in a fine elegance that is enhanced by lingering flavors of dried cranberries and classic flavors of cigar box and cedar. This impressive wine will continue to delight for years to come.
