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.
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
Drink now through 2024. 11,829 cases made. —BS
