Tasting profile
Deep ruby red. The bouquet opens with red-fleshed fruit—redcurrant, plum and sour cherry—followed by balsamic hints of mint and eucalyptus, sweet spices such as clove and cinnamon, and tertiary nuances of bitter cocoa, chocolate and coffee. Warm and supple on the palate, with a rich structure and refined tannins. The finish is long and persistent.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18 °C with roasts, braised meats or mature cheeses.
Label / history
Arciato is an invented name recalling an arch and, like the other wines in the Vintage line, evokes the Middle Ages. The inaugural 1998 vintage marked Cantina Cardèto’s 50th anniversary and was conceived as a “Super Umbrian” made from Cabernet Sauvignon.
