Tenuta Sette Ponti
Crognolo Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Found my last ‘11; estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles NW of the city of Arezzo past village of San Giustino Valdarno. A blend of 90% Sangiovese & 10% Merlot, aged in French Allier barriques. Deep Ruby with red fruit aromas and earthy floral spice. On the palate ripe blackberry and cherry flavors with earthy spice, savory. Fine soft tannins, nice balance long finish ending with cedar, tobacco and earthy mineral tones.

Feb 24th, 2021My last 2011 bottle. The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. Crognolo, aged in French Allier barriques, deep red with red fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, gentle spice and soft tannins with great mouthfeel. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Aged well.

That's some great Sangiovese. Dynamic deep currant, black cherry, soft cinnamon accents.

From Arezzo, in Chianti (just outside the Classico region), 80% Sangiovese plus Cab and Merlot, red fruit dominant, chewy tannins.
