Tasting Note

This pure Sangiovese has a bright nose, a nod to its temperate vintage, with floral aromas -- roses and violets -- followed by cypress and fresh rosemary. On the palate, flavours of ripe raspberries and hints of vanilla bean dominate. The mouthfeel is complex, full of soft tannins and uplifting acidity that bears the signature of classic Sangiovese. The finish has noticeable minerality with lingering notes of orange peel and cedar. The balance of acid, fruit and earth showcases the true terroir of this region.

The unique terroir of the vineyard, which is located on ancient limestone soils, imparts a rich minerality to the wine. Its deep ruby color and aromas of dark cherries, plums, and spices lead to a complex and balanced palate with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with hearty Italian dishes or simply savoring on its own. Tenuta di Arceno Strada al Sasso Gran Selezione Chianti Classico is a true expression of the beauty and craftsmanship of Chianti Classico wines.

About the Winery

Tenuta di Arceno

Tenuta di Arceno has passed through the hands of three different families over the years. Two of them, the De Jaja family and the Piccolomini family, are prominent Italian families. The Del Jaja family purchased the land bit by bit in 1504, indulging in estate expansion and agricultural enhancements. In 1829, the Piccolomini family bought the estate from the Del Jaja family. The Piccolominis added to the estate's beauty by building gardens, lakes and villas in the estate. In 1994, the estate came under the Jackson family's ownership when Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke bought it. The estate is among the first estates of the Jackson family outside California.
