Our PHILOSOPHY
“I am a servant of the soil. The pure expression of each unique site has, from the beginning, defined my micro-cru philosophy.”
In pursuit of quality, the team implemented a micro-cru viticulture philosophy, which sub-divides each vineyard block into smaller sections based on the individual soil types.
Each micro-cru features varieties, clones, root stocks, and viticulture practices best suited for its terroir.
The micro-crus are tended, harvested, and vinified separately, it is only in the final stages of the wine making process that various micro-crus come together to create the finished wines.
This PRIVATE professional tasting includes:
• Guided tour of the entire winery
• Professional vertical tasting of our Wine Spectator’s TOP100 listed Supertuscan in 3 old vintages
• Professional Chef prepared classic Tuscan full lunch with “zero food miles” ingredients
• Wines for the wine pairing lunch
A STORY…
1000 – Our “community” is cited in historic documents as small independent community
1716 – The first Chianti wine zone is established by Grand Duke Cosimo III de’ Medici, now known as Chianti Classico
1829 – The noble Piccolomini family (Pope Innocenzo III) acquire the property
1994 – California wine visionary Jess Jackson and wife Barbara Banke purchase the estate
2016 – Wine Spectator Top 100, #19
In honor of its history, the name of this farm comes from the Etruscan word “archè”, meaning “point of origin.”
Wine Spectator TOP100 judgement:
n.19, 97 pts.
A polished, flavorful red, boasting floral, black currant, raspberry and spice flavors.
Firm yet harmonious, with the fine aftertaste lingering with fruit, iron, tobacco and tea elements.
