The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Arnione (a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot) feels thinner and more streamlined compared to the 2019 vintage that I tasted at the same time. Dark fruit and plum are followed by a dusting of spicy oak and toast. The wine is contained and balanced, although it pulls back slightly in terms of intensity. Soils in this vineyard site are alluvial in nature with sand and clay. Arnione ages in oak for 18 months followed by 24 months in bottle before this production of 18,800 bottles hits the market.
