Sette Ponti
Found in the 1950s by architect Alberto Moretti Cuseri after he acquired a land directly from Princesses Margherita and Maria Cristina of Savoy-Aosta, daughters of Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, Tenuta Sette Ponti is located on a site in Chianti that has long been recognised for its exceptional wines. As far back as 1716, the Grand Duke of Tuscany noted it as a place that produces high quality wines. While the estate is best known today for its flagship wine, Oreno, which consistently ranks among Wine Spectator's Top 100 and regularly receives high scores from the other top critics, their lesser known second wine, Crognolo, is also an impressive very alternative.

(6x75cl) 2011Wine Advocate (91)
The 2011 Crognolo (Sangiovese with a small percentage of Merlot) shows lush, thick lines and a dark garnet appearance. This is a delicious and well-crafted Tuscan red that offers the fruit-forward style and soft extraction that defines the best of Tuscan winemaking. Rich tannins and deep layers of ripe fruit, blackberry, leather, tobacco and chocolate wrap smoothly over the palate. The 2011 vintage offers an especially soft interpretation that is perfect for near-term drinking. You feel a pinch of that Sangiovese acidity on the close.Inc. TAX€215.74 -

Lots currants, blueberries, vanilla and floral character on the nose and palate. Full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Edgy contrast of acidity, ripe fruit and wood.

Wine Enthusiast (94)
A wine that gives you everything you could possibly want: complexity, elegance, intensity and a long, creamy finish. Oreno is a 50-25-25 blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese (which prove to be perfect proportions in this case).

The 2020 Oreno is a dark, brooding beauty. Black cherry, plum, tobacco, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs all race across the palate. Deep, fleshy and super-expressive, the 2020 Oreno has a ton to offer. It should drink well with minimal cellaring but also has enough substance to drink well for many years to come.Inc. TAX€381.34 -
Decanter (99)
An incredibly compelling and inspiring wine with a flawless aromatic complexity- a nose full of strawberries, violets, roses -beautiful scents that put you squarely in Tuscany, A scintillating texture follows on the palate, thrilling with such liveliness, energy and poise.

Layered and pixelated, it's intense in its complexity but graceful with freshness throughout.Inc. TAX€406.79 -
James Suckling (95)
An old-vine wine that needs coaxing to come out of the glass. With a little air, it shows dried cherries, earth, orange and strawberrries Beautiful nose. Full body, with loads of fruit, silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. So much in the glass. Subtle and deep. A wonderful and stylish new pure sangiovese from one of the leaders in Tuscany.
