A modern blend of 41% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the Tenuta di Arceno 2020 Il Fauno di Arcanum is plump, rich, soft and thickly textured. It promises a youthful and charming interpretation of the general blended-red category from Tuscany (made with Bordeaux grapes), and you will find this bottle to be a successful pairing partner to a hearty dish of pappardella with wild rabbit ragù. Production is 126,000 bottles.
