Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno 2020

Tenuta Setti Ponti is a breath-taking Tuscan Estate located in the heart of Chianti. The name Setti Ponti means “seven bridges”, and it is a reference to the seven bridges crossing the Arno river on a road that leads to Florence from Arezzo. The estate was constructed in the mid thirteenth century, and took nearly 40 years to build. IF you look at Leonardi DaVinci’s painting of the Mona Lisa, the estate can be noticed in the far right of the background.

1997 Is the year when it all changed for this magnificent estate. It was Purchased by a group of well respected Tuscan Producers, none more notable than Dr. Piero Antinori. This estate turned into one of the finest in the region when they hired the great Carlos Ferrini and his Assistant Gioia Cresti. Carlos Ferrini is at the top of the food chain of Italian winemakers. Aside from producing this wine he also makes wines such as Casanova de Neri, Petrolo Galatrona, La Massa, Podere Giodo, and many more high scoring incredible quality wines.

Winemaker Notes: Spicy aromas of black fruit and touches of chocolate dominate the nose and palate. The wine is full-bodied, with supple tannins

Blend: 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot

A red with a layered, velvety texture, showing blackberry and black-olive character, together with some iodine and graphite. Full-bodied and rich with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Savory. 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 10% petit verdot. Needs two or three years to soften.

This is lush, yet dense and lively, offering black cherry, blackberry and black currant fruit, shaded by mineral, cedar and spice elements. Firms up by the finish, echoing fruit, mineral and spice accents, with fine length. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024

From a warm vintage, the Tenuta Sette Ponti 2020 Oreno (a blend of certified organic Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) is very rich and fleshed out, and definitely softer compared to the 2019 vintage before it. This wine shows lots of savory fruit and velvety concentration with blackberry preserves and baked cherry. Oreno awards you with a very generous expression from Tuscany that can be enjoyed in the near- or medium-term.
