Tenuta di Arceno Toscana IGT Arcanum 2013

Tenuta di Arceno’s Arcanum 2013 is a refined Tuscan red that shows the cool, elegant side of the vintage, built around a Cabernet Franc core with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon adding depth and polish. Sourced from one of the most historic estates in southern Chianti Classico, it combines classical structure with the kind of precision and freshness that makes the 2013 vintage so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Arcanum 2013 presents a deep, dark color with youthful vitality despite its age. The nose is layered with ripe berries, black cherry, plum, sweet vanilla, and subtle accents of sweet mint and white pepper, giving it both richness and lift. On the palate, the wine opens with a firm, lively attack and fresh acidity, followed by long, supple Cabernet Franc tannins. Dark fruit takes center stage, supported by rose petal, honey, herbs, cedar, and a mineral edge on the finish. This is a structured wine with excellent aging potential, and it can easily continue to evolve over the next 20 years.

Production
Tenuta di Arceno sits at the southern edge of Chianti Classico in Castelnuovo Berardenga, where the vineyards benefit from a mix of mountain-cool breezes, southern warmth, and a highly varied mosaic of soils. The estate’s 90 hectares of vineyards are planted between 300 and 500 meters above sea level and are divided into numerous cru sites to reflect these differences. For Arcanum 2013, the blend is 73% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the wine aged for 12 months in 80% new French oak.

Food & Serving
This is a great match for richly flavored dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb rack, braised short ribs, venison, or roast duck with herbs. It also pairs well with aged hard cheeses and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended to let the wine fully open up.

Producer
Tenuta di Arceno has roots going back to the 16th century and has passed through notable Italian families including the Del Taja and Piccolomini families. In 1994, it was acquired by Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, founders of Jackson Family Wines, a global group known for top estates such as Anakota, Lokoya, and Vérité. Today, Tenuta di Arceno is recognized as one of the most distinctive and historically significant estates in Tuscany, combining heritage, scale, and a strong identity in premium wine production.
