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 floral spice. On the palate blackberry and sweet cherry flavors, cacao, spice and fine dusty tannins. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Nice! Tasting Sample!

2016. Well-made but tasting too young and tight at this point. Cherry fruit still finishing tart with decanting. $20 at small NJ bev store, $23-30 elsewhere.

Solid super Tuscan; especially for the price. Dark berries and plumb upfront. A little wood on the finish. Started off quite tight, but after a decant softened up nicely. Letting it age a at least a couple more years would improve on that too.
