Arcanum is the flagship Super Tuscan of Tenuta di Arceno, a Cabernet Franc-led blend from the estate's highest vineyard plots, made by Pierre Seillan.

Deep purple-black, it opens with cassis, blackberry and violets, layered with rosemary, lavender and graphite.

Very concentrated and structured, with dark cherry, tobacco and cigar box over powerful tannins and vibrant acidity, it finishes long with cedar, mocha and sweet mint.

A wine for Wagyu beef, braised venison or roast rack of lamb, and built to age.

Tasting notes
▾

Impenetrably deep purple-black with narrow ruby rim. Monumentally complex nose of cassis, blackberry, and violets layered with notes of smoked bacon, rosemary, dried lavender, and graphite. The palate is extraordinarily concentrated and structured, with dense flavours of dark cherry, tobacco, and cigar box, framed by a powerful tannic architecture and vibrant acidity. Grand and age-worthy, with an exceptionally long finish of cedar, incense, mocha, and sweet mint that lingers for minutes.
