100% Cabernet Franc.
Named after the "Arca Aurita", a fossil marine clam found in the soil of the winery. This is also the secret behind the seductively mineral taste. Its bouquet recalls cocoa, blackcurrant jam, and rosemary alongside elegantly spicy and balsamic notes.
The wine matures for 18 months in barrique and at least 12 months in the bottle.

Podernovo Estate
The Tenuta Podernovo is beautifully situated on a hill in the municipality of Terricciola, in the heart of the prestigious and emerging wine-growing area of the hills around Pisa. The special geographical location and the soil composition, rich in sand and fossil deposits, create an optimal microclimate and conditions for viticulture: Wine has been and continues to be the historical and cultural identity of the region and represents an element of continuity – from the Etruscans to the present day.
The winery was built with the utmost care for the shape of the surroundings and with special consideration for the preservation of the surrounding landscape. This goal was achieved through the use of local stone and colors in perfect harmony with the environment.
