Aromas of rosewood, cherries and blueberries follow through to a full body, tight and focused tannins and a long and flavorful finish. This is linear and bright. The tannins are wonderfully polished and poised. Hard not to drink now, but it will improve beautifully in the bottle. A blend of mostly sangiovese with a touch of merlot. Drink or hold.
Producer
Tenuta Sette Ponti
Located in the heart of the Chianti region, Sette Ponti sits between Arezzo and Florence in the Arno River Valley. Sette Ponti is named after the seven bridges that connect the banks along the Arno River. Antonio Moretti, an ambitious entrepreneur helped to spark the somewhat renaissance movement of this Tuscan site. Moretti has managed to produce wonderful wines in a very short period of time. His family’s estate of 64-hectares, coordinated by Dr. Moretti Cuseri, makes three wines: Oreno – the more international of the three, Crognolo which expresses more of its sweet-fruited background of 90% Sangiovese, and an unwooded Sangiovese – Vigna di Pallino which is a cherryish based wine.
