2004 | Tenuta Sette Ponti | Oreno

Bright, powerful ruby. The nose presents itself as complex, crunchy, astonishingly fresh fruit, lots of black truffle, black cherry and cassis. Precise and very clear on the palate, compact fruit and very well integrated, fine-meshed tannins, lots of crunchy berry fruit, juicy.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2004 Oreno (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese) is bursting with generous super-ripe dark fruit and sweet toasted oak notes, showing much concentration, length and vitality on the palate, as well as finessed tannins to round out the finish. Made in a more restrained style than the 2003, it will also require several years of bottle age to come together.

• Wine Spectator: Fabulous aromas of ripe blackberry, cappuccino and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with masses of fruit and supervelvety tannins. Long and gorgeous. All there. Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Producer Information

Tenuta Sette Ponti is an Italian wine estate in Tuscany, just east of the Chianti Classico zone. In addition to local vineyards, grapes are also sourced from the neighbouring island of Sicily. There are around 50 hectares (123 acres) of vines within the estate, which sits at around 300 meters (1000ft) above sea level. The soil, which is fairly consistent across the estate, combines clay, sand, limestone and Galestro stone, which is well-suited to the Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that is planted here. Sette Ponti's oldest vineyard is the 3ha (7.4 acre) Vigna dell'Impero (Empire Vineyard), planted in 1935 by the Count of Turin. Sette Ponti produces wines in several Tuscan appellations. These include Vigna di Pallino, an unoaked Chianti, and Anni, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. The estate also produces an Etna Rosso DOC and Etna Bianco DOC.
