Tenuta di Arceno Chianti Classico Riserva Campolupi

Tenuta di Arceno is a historic estate located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, the southernmost commune of Chianti Classico. Owned by Jackson Family Wines, the estate combines traditional Tuscan viticulture with modern precision, focusing on expressing the diversity of its vineyard sites.

The “Campolupi” vineyard is one of the estate’s notable single-vineyard sites, planted primarily to Sangiovese on soils rich in clay and limestone. The southern location within Chianti Classico tends to produce wines with greater richness and structure while maintaining freshness and acidity.

The Riserva designation requires extended ageing, and the wine is typically fermented in stainless steel before maturation in French oak barrels for added depth and integration. The style balances ripe fruit with savoury complexity and firm structure.
