Tenuta Bocca di Lupo 'Arso' 2021

From the sun-drenched region of Puglia in Southern Italy, this wine is crafted by Tenuta Bocca di Lupo, part of the prestigious Antinori family estates. The winery is dedicated to organic viticulture in the Murge plateau, a terroir defined by limestone soils and Mediterranean breezes.

Wine Description

‘Arso’ 2021 is a 100% Cabernet Franc displaying an opaque purple hue in the glass. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry, layered with notes of forest undergrowth, rosemary, licorice, cocoa, vanilla, and white pepper. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering plush fruit, refined tannins, and a vibrant freshness that balances its concentration. Silky and powerful, the finish is long, smooth, and lingering, showcasing both elegance and structure.

Food Pairing

This Cabernet Franc pairs wonderfully with grilled or roasted red meats, game, and herb-crusted lamb. Its herbal and spicy character also complements dishes featuring rosemary, thyme, or earthy mushrooms.
