ARCIBALDO

Toscano I.G.T.

The ARCIBALDO was born in 1994 and consists of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Cabernet
Sauvignon; until that time, the wine farm production was exclusively using single vines
without blending them. We felt the need to complete our production adding this blend.
The image on the label is a work from the famous Italian painter ARCIMBOLDO (1527
- 1593), and it has an assonance closer to the wine’s name “ARCIBALDO”. This word
means “lively and strong”. The wonderful painting, which portrays the nature and its fruits
in their best expression, gives justice to the excellence of this product.

TYPOLOGY. Tuscan I.G.T.

GRAPES. 50% Sangiovese grosso and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING. The grape harvest for our Super Tuscan lasts only one day. We manually
harvest giving a special care to each bunch integrity. Before going into the stalk-remover, the grapes are
further selected through a conveyor belt on which another final sorting of the bunches is made. Traditional
vinification, in small size tanks using selected yeasts and a long maceration of the marc. The ageing in wood
starts right after the malo-lactic fermentation. The wine is poured into French and American oak barriques
with the capacity of 225 lt and 300 lt. Here it rests for about 14/15 months. The refining in bottle is at least
6 months in thermo-controlled areas.

ORGANOLEPTIC ANALYSIS
CHROMATIC RANGE: Deep ruby red, shining and intense.
BOUQUET: Intense, pervasive bouquet characterized by rich tones such as roasted
coffee, leather, cocoa and underbrush.
TASTE: To the palate, it gives the same olfactory sensations. These are enriched
by the persistency and roundness given by the noble tannins content.
ALCOHOLIC CONTENT: 13% by vol.
BOTTLE: 750 ml
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 20° C
KEEPING AGEING QUALITIES: 15 years after the bottling.

GASTRONOMIC MATCH. It finds the best expression with typical Tuscan starters. Ideal also with first
courses (pasta), “ribollita” (Tuscan soup), grilled meat and cheeses.
