TASTING NOTES
The Arcanum faun is a Bordeaux blend that embodies the diversity of the estate. It comes mainly from the Arceno di Sotto, La Curva, Colombaio and San Giovanni blocks, located in the south-west part of the estate, in a lower and warmer subsection, well exposed and maturing early. The soils are predominantly clayey, with high water retention and produce wines that tend to be richer and more opulent. Some vintages are powerful like 2015, others structured like 2016, and still others like 2018 combine both of these qualities to create elegant yet powerful wines. A vegetative season in the seasonal norm, without extreme temperatures or inopportune rains, preceded the harvest, which with its warm days but cool nights allowed a perfect polyphenolic ripening of the grapes. The harvest began on September 10th and ended on October 10th ... a perfect timing. The nose shows many scents connected to the earth, but also hints of fruit, with aromas of nutmeg, cypress and roses. The entrance is soft, with delicate tannins but which fill the mouth with black cherry, candied apple and licorice. This thousand-layered blend has a long and spicy finish, with balsamic notes, with references of cloves and white pepper.
