Description

The Tenuta Sette Ponti 2020 Oreno Toscana is an exceptional Super-Tuscan blend—bold, elegant and beautifully concentrated. It combines rich dark fruit intensity with refined structure, making it both a statement bottle now and a cellar investment for the next decade. Origins & Craftsmanship Hailing from the estate of Tenuta Sette Ponti in Tuscany, Italy, Oreno represents the flagship red of the property. The 2020 vintage is made from 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. The vineyards sit on a mix of clay, sand and galestro limestone soils, where clusters are carefully reduced early in the season for maximum concentration. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, fermented in a combination of temperature-controlled and open-top tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging is around 18 months in French oak barriques, creating a wine of power and finesse.

Firm tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced and lively.Finish: Long and refined, the finish brings lingering spice, mineral undertones and a polished sense of structure—inviting further cellaring while ready to impress now.

Wine Spectator 95 Points "From a warm vintage, the Tenuta Sette Ponti 2020 Oreno (a blend of certified organic Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot) is very rich and fleshed out, and definitely softer compared to the 2019 vintage before it. This wine shows lots of savory fruit and velvety concentration with blackberry preserves and baked cherry. Oreno awards you with a very generous expression from Tuscany that can be enjoyed in the near- or medium-term." Robert Parker 94 Points
