Tenuta di Arceno’s iconic La Curva vineyard
Tenuta di Arceno is the Italian wine enthusiast’s dream. Secluded and stunningly picturesque, the estate is located in the southernmost edge of the Chianti Classico region, in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Vines were first planted in this enclave of central-western Italy by the Etruscans in the 8th century BC, and wine has been made at Tenuta di Arceno since the 1500s.
A Tuscan dream
The surrounding landscape is the Tuscan dream brought to life; hilltop villages are dotted with cypress and olive trees, vines grow on the nearby hills, whilst rocky outcrops and verdant woods in the distance lead one to feel like they’ve found paradise on earth. It’s easy to see why the Jackson Family fell in love at first sight after they caught a glimpse of the property in 1994.
During the past 28 years, founding winemaker, Pierre Seillan has built a dream team comprised of vineyard manager Michele Pezzicoli and head winemaker Lawrence Cronin, who continue as the custodians of Tenuta di Arceno soils. This quality-focused philosophy embodies all things Tuscan and is a true representation of Chianti Classico.
