A limited-edition project born in 2016 to honor the estate's flagship Arnione by isolating and bottling a single variety from the parcels dedicated to that blend in purity. Composition has varied by vintage — the 2020 release is 100% Cabernet Franc, while earlier vintages combined Cabernet Sauvignon with a smaller share of Merlot. Robust yet elegant, it offers complex dark fruit, spice and mineral character balanced by fine tannins and a long finish. Produced only in the best vintages in a strictly limited run (around 1,000-1,500 numbered bottles) and sold primarily at the winery.
Anima d'Arnione is Campo alla Sughera at its most experimental — a single variety pulled out of its most famous blend just to prove it can stand alone.

Food Pairings

Terroir & Winemaking
Produced only in top vintages from parcels dedicated to the Arnione blend, isolating a single variety (Cabernet Franc in the 2020 vintage) rather than blending. Developed in collaboration with Bordeaux-based oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt. Limited to roughly 1,000-1,500 numbered bottles per release, sold mainly at the estate.
