## Summary

Arione sits beside the Francia vineyard and, since 2015, a portion of its fruit has also gone into Monfortino in select vintages.

## Tasting notes

Violets, herbal notes, spice and tobacco on the nose, with a palate that balances power and finesse. Similar soil character to Francia, but with a more southerly exposure.
