90 % Chardonnay, 10 % Pinot Noir and Pinot Bianco.
Traditional Champagne method with 36 months on the lees.
Golden green in colour.
Bread dough, lemon, green apples flowers and a touch of toastiness. Firm acidity with a fine creamy mousse.
Vittorio Moretti bought the property in the 1970s.
His first vintage in 1979 was made with the idea of having his own wine to drink with friends.
Let’s all agree that we need a friend like that. — a year ago

Phenomenally silky, slightly creamy, like the Omero Pinot Gris from Oregon. 6+ months skin maceration does the trick. — 9 years ago

Bright gold with fine bubbles; lovely, expressive nose has a fresh-pastry quality with white flowers and mineral; palate is both full and rich and fresh and airy with citron, white fruit and stony soil notes. At Puleju in Rome. — 3 months ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor, and violin soloist, Leonidas Kavakos is leading an BEETHOVEN (Violin Concerto in D, Opus 61) and then concluding with DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Opus 70). It is a rare treat to have a combination conductor/soloist leading the Orchestra, only the second time I can recall in about 12 years of attendance. The other instance was with Anne-Sophie Mutter, also a violinist, a few years ago now.
Nose has cut yellow apple, bag full of lemons, light vanilla, light oak and limestone paste.
Palate has cold butter, sugared lemon, lemon pith, quince, yellow cherry and creamy oak lingers on the medium-long finish.
Quite Chablis-like, except the touch of wood notes are a little heavier, but the caveat, this wine is very young, likely drinking great 2021-23.
24 Hour Update: Oak has subsided, just a great bottle today. — 7 years ago

Opened about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2020 pours, a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing and a touch volatile. There are notes of being cherry, wild brambles, red and purple flowers, varnish, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose the finish is medium+. This is a soulful if not brilliant wine that gives me Paolo Bella vibes. Drink now through 2030. — 5 months ago
A full-bodied, dry Umbrian white blend (Grechetto), served with arctic char at Inga’s Bar, Brooklyn Heights, NY — 2 years ago
Some IGT wine to pair with red meat sauce (Sunday Gravy) on Penne from Lilian’s Kitchen for my birthday entree.
The 2011 Oreno is a blend of; Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
The nose as I poured it from the decanter had bright, brilliant, blue & purple florals. Ripe, lush & ruby; blackberries, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, poached/baked strawberries, boysenberries & blueberry notes. Incense, savory meats, dark, fruit cola, anise to black licorice, dark spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, limestone, dark, rich, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft dry herbs, saddle-wood, not quite dry tobacco, leather, hints of graphite with dark, red, blue, purple flowers laid in lavender.
The body is, rich, round & just hits full. Still a shade early on opening. Needs another 3 years in bottle. The tannins are nicely round but, still show chewy tarriness...45-50% resolved. The tension, structure, length and balance are just hitting their groove. Ripe, lush, ruby & floral fruits of; blackberries, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, poached/baked strawberries, boysenberries, raspberries as it opens (1-2 hours) & blueberry notes. Incense, savory meats, dark, fruit cola, anise to black licorice, dark spice with just touch heat, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & hints of vanillin, limestone, just moist clay & top soil, dark, rich, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft dry herbs, saddle-wood, not quite dry tobacco, dry underbrush, leather, hints of graphite with dark, red, blue, purple flowers laid in lavender. The acidity is round just about right. The delicious ruby fruit finish is, nicely polished, well balanced, a little flatter than I like and fall into gentle spice & round, slightly tarry & dusty tannins as it takes hold on the long set.
Photos of; Tenuta Sette Ponti, Merlot fruit nearly ready to be harvested, Owner- Antonio Moretti, who took over the estate from his father in the late 1990's. As well, was charged with fraud a few years back but, believe he survived those charges & Tenuta Sette Ponti vines. — 6 years ago
