Tenuta Sette Ponti Toscana Oreno 2022
2022, Valdarno, Tuscany, Italy
About the Wine
This label was born in 1999 with the idea of creating an elegant Bordeaux blend with a Tuscan touch. Relying on renowned nurseryman Gilbert Bouvet, we grafted mature vineyards with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, which are well adapted to the Tuscan soil. The name comes from a stream, Oreno, that runs through the estate, right in the area richest in clay where precisely our Merlot plants grow. While in the soils with a greater presence of pebbles, which ensure perfect drainage and perform a self-regulating function of temperature and humidity, Cabernet Sauvignon finds its natural place. A perfect complement to the blend is a small touch of Petit Verdot, traditionally used as a carrier of spicy notes and flavor intensity. Oreno conquers with its extreme intensity and olfactory complexity rich in fruity notes of ripe small red fruits and berry jam, fused with balsamic notes of eucalyptus, chocolate, cocoa and spices. The mouthfeel is enveloping, warm and soft, the tannins are elegant and the persistence long and unforgettable enhanced by a delicious freshness. The body, finesse and harmony make it a wine of extraordinary potential.
