Description
Arcanum is sourced primarily from the Cabernet Franc vineyard blocks l’Apparita and Belvedere. With superb exposure and sandy clay soils, these blocks shine to produce the finest expression of the variety, and the leading wine of the estate. The l’Apparita vineyard is located slightly above the entrance tunnel to the estate and lies at 400 meters (1300 feet) above sea level. It was planted in 1998 and is one of the first vineyards dedicated to Cabernet Franc. “Belvedere” is Italian for “nice view” and indeed, at an altitude of 500 meters (1640 feet) above sea level, this vineyard grants a magnificent view over the whole estate. The fruit is hand-picked and cold soaked for 3-5 days. Fermented on skins in stainless steel for 18-25 days. Drained and pressed directly into barrels and racked every four months. Bottled 22 months after vintage with minimal filtration, aged a minimum of two years in bottle before release.
