Fabulous aromas of blackberries, orange peel, raspberries and citrus. Violets too. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a light, dusty texture. It's so fine and beautiful, racy and refined. Very structured indeed but also soulful and very, very inspiring. There's a new refinement to this wine as the winemakers search for a truly beautiful expression of the terroir. Better in 2017 but a joy to taste now.

Tenuta Sette Ponti's 2012 Oreno is a very different wine compared to its 2011 predecessor. This was also a warm vintage, yet the fruit is more masculine and sober in this vintage. The wine shows harder lines and a more determined style with shapely tannins and long flavors of dark spice, blackberry and bitter chocolate. Oreno should age beautifully over the next ten years. The blend is 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot
93 Wine Spectator
This is perfumed, sinewy and taut, boasting cherry, black currant, earth, wild herb and tobacco aromas and flavors. The tannins are assertive, but this shows balance overall, as well as a saline mineral element on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2017 through 2026. 9,000 cases made.

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.
