Tenuta di Arceno Valadorna 2018

Tenuta di Arceno Valadorna 2018 is a sophisticated Super Tuscan that serves as the estate’s premier Merlot-based blend. Sourced from the cool, shaded Valadorna and Capraia blocks in the lower-altitude sandy soils of the estate, this vintage highlights the elegance and plushness of the varietal. It offers a complex bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, and violets, layered with nuanced notes of vanilla, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, showcasing a dense core of black fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads to a long, polished, and mineral-driven finish.
