In the heart of the Chianti lies Estate of Sette Ponti, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past village of San Giustino Valdarno. Has 10% Merlot, aged in French Allier barriques, deep Ruby with red fruit aromas and floral notes. On the palate blackberry, plum and cherry flavors with blossom notes, spice and fine integrated tannins. Good balance, long finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Nice! Will age a bit! Tasting well now! — 3 months ago
Truncated family party notes. This wine was so relaxed and comfortable in its skin. Deep flavors. Soft, luxurious texture. Vines this old are so quietly confident they don’t feel the need to try to impress anyone. I hope I reach this state someday. — 2 months ago

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 5 months ago
Juicy dark beery fruit, healthy spice, balanced. — 2 months ago
Delicious. Low tannins, sweet, fruity, smooth. Blueberry, blackberry, plum jam. — 3 months ago
Nice Zin aromas and very clean finish but the fruit senses seemed a bit unripe. Still enjoyable. — 4 months ago
Fresh and with so much savory fruit, but really needs time as the tannins are imposing. Really needed the steak! — 6 months ago
