A magnificent and powerful estate-grown Tuscan red wine crafted by the historic Tenuta di Arceno estate, nestled in the cooler, high-altitude hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Bearing the name "Campolupi" ("Field of Wolves") as an homage to the wild wolves that roam the surrounding hillsides, this prestigious Gran Selezione represents the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking pyramid. Sourced entirely from select, high-elevation Sangiovese blocks sitting at 550 meters above sea level and blended with a touch of indigenous Colorino, it undergoes patient maturation in French oak barrels. It displays a deep garnet red profile bursting with enticing aromas of violets, ripe plums, cassis, and black pepper. The palate is voluptuous, rich, and full-bodied, showcasing a beautiful balance between Sangiovese's racy acidity and structural intensity, layered with complex flavors of wild blueberries, fresh sage, rosemary, and an endlessly long finish exuding hints of cedar and forest floor.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-braised wild boar ragù over pappardelle, thick-cut Bistecca alla Fiorentina, herb-crusted roasted lamb, or mature Pecorino Toscano.
