| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nThe intense ruby red color is a prelude to ample aromas of ripe cherries and wild berries, well blended with spicy notes that give the wine class and complexity.\r\nRound, distinctly harmonious and vibrant on the palate, it shows depth and perfect tannins.\r\nFood Pairings: full flavored meats, game and roasts.\r\nJames Suckling 95\r\nDecanter 93\r\nCrognolo, the first wine of Tenuta Sette Ponti. Born in 1998 from the wine project of the Moretti Cuseri family. An elegant Sangiovese based supertuscan, endowed with a unique identity: between enhancement of territory and vines, excellence, rigor and innovation made from a tradition capable of evolving. The best selection of a historic variety of Sangiovese from a unique clone found in the Vigna dell\u2019Impero 1935 and multiplied in the estate\u2019s Sangiovese vineyards. A small addition of Merlot to give roundness and complexity. The ruby red color is a prelude to an intense and complex nose, rich in red fruits such as cherries and berries, floral notes such as violets, herbs and spicy notes, giving class and elegance. Structured, complex, mineral and round, it suggests excellent aging capabilities. The name comes from a wild plant \u201cthe cornus\u201d that grows abundantly on the estate.\r\nAbout\u00a0 Tenuta Sette Ponti\r\nTenuta Sette Ponti lies on historic land in the heart of the Chianti zone at the end of the Via del Monte, known locally as the Via dei Sette Ponti, in a beautiful hidden valley. Named for the seven medieval bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence\u2014one of which, the Ponte Buriano, is perceptible in the right far background of Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa\u2014the estate has a storied history. But it has been the dedication and savvy of luxury goods entrepreneur Antonio Moretti that has transformed the 750-acre estate into a multifaceted farm property that is today one of Tuscany\u2019s most innovative, quality-driven producers of world-class Super Tuscans.\r\nTenuta Sette Ponti's first release was the 1998 vintage Crognolo, named after a wild bush, Cornus, which grows on the estate. The estate's second release, Oreno, is named after a small river running through the estate. |
