Winemaker Notes
His vineyard block classification approach enables Vigneron/Winemaster Pierre Seillan to develop the elegant and complex architecture of his wines as is found in Arceno PrimaVoce. This blend balances the reserved nature of Merlot with the vivaciousness of Sangiovese. PrimaVoce, referring to the leading voice in an opera, expresses the richness of the Tuscan terroir and the continuing legacy of the Tenuta di Arceno estate.
The beautiful ruby color is complemented by a complex bouquet suggesting vanilla, coconut and red currant. The anticipation created by the impressive nose is rewarded with a smooth, balanced mouth feel and a mineral quality accompanied by strong fruit flavors present throughout the lasting finish.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
