Tenuta Sette Ponti : Oreno 2017

The aromatic richness and structure of a Tuscan red wine

The estate

Located in the Sangiovese region of Chianti, Tenuta Sette Ponti charms visitors with its timelessly beautiful Tuscan landscapes and its terroir, which produces fine wines.

This estate, whose name resonates with the seven bridges linking the banks of the Arno river between Florence and Arezzo, started a new chapter in its history in the 1950s when the Moretti Cuseri family acquired 50 hectares.

Tenuta Sette Ponti produces refined and elegant wines that are recognised as being among the finest Italian wines.

The vineyard

Tenuta Sette Ponti reigns over more than 300 hectares of land, 54 of which are planted with vines. This exceptional vineyard is planted on a tapestry of soils whose different topologies and altitudes make the estate unique. The vines are 20 to 30 years old on average and benefit from an ideal south-facing exposure at an altitude of 250 metres.

Vinification and ageing

Fermentation at controlled temperature. Maceration for 25 days with manual punching down. The wine is aged for 18 months in small oak barrels and then aged for a further year in the bottle before being sold.

The blend
