Tenuta di Arceno PHILOSOPHY
“I am a servant of the soil. The pure expression of each unique site has, from the beginning, defined my micro-cru philosophy.” – Pierre Seillan, Founding Winemaker
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 Wine Spectator’s TOP 100 supertuscan ARCANUM Toscana IL FAUNO IGT in 3 old vintages
• Professional Chef prepared classic Tuscan full lunch with “zero food miles” ingredients
• Wines for the wine pairing lunch
