Terra del Capo Arne 2006

Name: Terra del Capo Arne 2006
Brand: Terra del Capo
SKU: 23296

The 2006 Arné is a dense yet elegant wine with a lingering aftertaste. Red cherries, a touch of spice, herbs and cigars are carried by a generous, silky mouthfeel and soft, well-rounded tannins. The typical savoury Sangiovese character of spice, herbs and cherries is rounded into a softer, silky wine with more volume in the mid palate by the Merlot.

in the vineyard : The Sangiovese vineyard is situated on a warmer site where afternoon breezes cool the vines, keeping them fresh until morning. The Sangiovese on this farm is known as the easier child of all the blocks, as these vines grow and respond quickly and gratefully to the climate and viticultural practices. Some green harvesting is done in the late season and the vigour and size of bunches, which tend to be big, are managed constantly. The Merlot is from a different farm, which ripens at the same time as the Sangiovese.
