"Rich, deep and saturated with cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, rose, iron and Mediterranean herb flavors, this red is both complex and intense. Driven by vivid acidity, with dense tannins lending support. There’s youthful harmony, and this resonates on the aftertaste." —Wine Spectator
"A magenta/ruby color, the 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva kicks it up a notch on the nose, with layered notes of Mediterranean herbs, sweet mixed berries, violets, and fresh leather. The palate is very well-balanced, and I’m impressed with this wine for both its integration and purity. It has refined tannins, wonderful purity of ripe fruit, and even acidity. It is a lovely wine already but should age gracefully over the coming 12-15 years." —Jeb Dunnuck
Tenuta di Arceno spans more than 2,500 acres across the rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga in southern Chianti Classico, where vineyards, olive groves, forests, and ancient stone buildings shape the landscape. The estate is owned by Jackson Family Wines, with acclaimed winemaker Pierre Seillan guiding the vineyard program through a detailed understanding of the property's varied soils and exposures. Their Chianti Classico Riserva highlights warmer south-facing parcels and long aging in French oak, giving the wine added depth to its dark fruit as well as polished structure.
Tenuta di Arceno’s Riserva opens with black cherry, plum, violets, orange peel, cedar, and spice, with velvety tannins that carry through a long finish touched by dark chocolate and blood orange. Mostly Sangiovese with a small amount of Merlot, it delivers richness without losing the bright energy that makes Chianti Classico so appealing at the table. Pair it with bistecca Fiorentina, mushroom risotto, or braised short ribs.
