ARCANUM CABERNET FRANC 2018

ARCANUM – Cabernet Franc 2018
Tuscany, Italy

Arcanum Cabernet Franc 2018 is the flagship wine of the Arcanum estate, crafted from estate-grown Cabernet Franc in the hills of Tuscany’s Val di Cornia. The estate focuses on Cabernet Franc as its signature variety, producing wines of depth, elegance, and remarkable aging potential.

The Wine

The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyard parcels on limestone and clay soils. After fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 18–20 months in French oak barrels, allowing it to develop structure and complexity while maintaining purity of fruit.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in colour. The nose reveals aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, layered with notes of violet, graphite, tobacco, and cedar. The palate is powerful yet refined, offering flavours of ripe black fruit, cocoa, spice, and herbs, supported by firm, polished tannins and vibrant acidity, finishing long and complex.
