Tenuta di Arceno Valadorna 2017 Toscana - Italy

The first impression of the nose is earthy with notes of cypress, vanilla bean, and spice. There are deep fruit flavors of black cherries, plums and blueberries followed by pleasant hints of chocolate and dried rose petals. On the palate, the tannins are chewy and accompanied by lively acidity; contributing to a long finish dominated by flavors of dried figs and licorice. The 2017 Valadorna is a time bomb of joy that will stand the test of time and age well in the cellar if patience permits.

Blend: 60% Merlot,  32% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon 4% Petit Verdot
