Italy Tour Stop 2: Tenuta Di Arceno

Tenuta Di Arceno Tour!

The next stop on our Italy buying tour was Tenuta Di Arceno, this beautiful estate covers 2,500 acres of rolling hills, lush green forests, ancient Cypress trees, sun-drenched fields, olive groves, vineyards and medieval stone buildings. The wines they produce are every bit as impressive as their origin. While clearly Tuscan in lineage, they possess a level of richness, concentration and character that is comparable to the world’s finest.

Proprietor and chairman of Jackson Family Wines Barbara Banke, along with her children Christopher, Katie and Julia, have been intimately involved with the rejuvenation of Tenuta di Arceno.

During our time we tasted a fantastic range of wines this estate offers, one of our favourites and now available online is the 2017 Toscana Il Fauno Di Arcanum, this is a one of a kind vintage. 

As Tenuta Di Arceno is part of the Kendall Jackson family who produce America's no.1 selling Chardonnay for 25 years and counting! This was the perfect opportunity for us to sample some of their fantastic wines, we where very excited to try their most popular release "Vinter's Reserve Chardonnay" this wine is fruit-forward, divinely complex approachable and exceptionally food-friendly. Handcrafted in in small vineyard lots, throughout the entire winemaking process their grapes are from California's cool, coastal growing regions. 

Give these ranges a try and let us know what you think!
