Bolgheri Superiore Arnione Campo alla Sughera. Vintage 2019

Arnione, first saw the light of day back in 2001.

Classed as a Bolgheri Rosso Superiore and made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes, it is an elegant, powerful character, as any wine made with this particular combination of grapes needs to be.

The acclaim the Arnione has received owes much to the unique character of vineyards’ particularly sandy soil, which allows the various grapes that go into this wine to express themselves with greater compositional harmony, and avoid strident excesses and structural imbalance.

Another key factor is the barrels, which are carefully selected for the purity of their composition and unique balance of aromas and tannins, bringing us closer to our ultimate ideal of contained, carefully modelled power.

Arnione is a reflection of this desirable character.

It refers to an “ovule of alabaster”, the geological formation of gypsum that produces the finest varieties of plaster, a material closely associated with the city of Volterra, but also with my family, which has made its name in the plaster extraction and processing industry and the production of cutting-edge building systems using this very material.
