History: Proprietor and chairman of Jackson Family Wines Barbara Banke, along with her children Christopher, Katie, and Julia, have been intimately involved with the rejuvenation of Tenuta di Arceno. Working closely with the dedicated team at the estate, they have elevated this historic property into one of the benchmark wineries of the Chianti Classico region.

Tasting Notes:

The 2019 Chianti Classico displays aromas of black cherry, orange peel, and subtle notes of cedar. The entrance to the palate is bright and invigorating – as one would expect a Chianti Classico to be – then slowly softens; revealing flavors of red raspberries with the earthy signature of Sangiovese. The finish concludes with spice notes of white pepper with hints of mint and licorice.
