Arcana's mission is to preserve a unique heritage, that of the traditional Itata grape varieties, through the most natural winemaking methods focused on the sincerity of the fruit. Behind Arcana is Alberto Barra, a mechanical engineer by profession and a winemaker by passion. His goal is to preserve a heritage of Semillon vines planted 150 years ago. It is a Semillon of great richness, with floral and fruity notes, a good weight on the palate, making it highly gastronomic both for its elegance and complexity.
Chili
The Itata valley is located in the Ñuble region, in the middle of Chili. It is one of the oldest wine making areas in the country. The term itself means “abundant pasture” in indigenous Mapuche. The soil in this floodplain is sandy and rich in minerals and volcanic sediment. These natural elements contribute to the viticulture of Itata’s traditional grape varieties, país (red) and muscat (white). Other grape varieties cultivated and harvested in the area are Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Merlot, Semillon and Alicante Bouschet (or Tintorera).
Ce millésime 2020 offre une belle profondeur aromatique, mêlant agrumes, fruits blancs et une légère minéralité. Un vin à la fois frais et structuré, parfait pour l’apéritif ou les plats de fruits de mer.
un vin blanc chilien élégant et bien équilibré, offrant une belle expression du terroir de la vallée de l'Itata et du savoir-faire du domaine Arcana.
This Semillon reveals bright acidity balanced by a creamy mouthfeel. Subtle oak influences add complexity without overpowering the pure fruit and mineral character. It’s drinking beautifully now but will also age gracefully.
The 2020 Arcana Semillon is a beautifully focused wine, showcasing zesty lemon, lime, and green apple aromas. The palate is textural and rich, with layers of citrus pith, honeyed notes, and a refreshing mineral finish.
Anne-Sarine - Local Nose
A Sémillon surprising for its freshness and minerality. Aromas of candied citrus and white flowers mingle with a subtle hint of honey. The finish is long and elegant. Perfect with oysters.
