Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana Organic 2022 750ml

Georgina Hindle writes: New to the Place de Bordeaux this year, the second wine to the flagship Oreno. This is darkly scented with a floral-touched nose, blackcurrants, violet potpourri and liquorice. So juicy and seductive on the palate, this has a depth which is beguiling, layering the dark fruit, herbal and salty flavours on the tongue – a sweet, sticky almost liquorice blackcurrant added to by a black pepper and minty aftertaste giving some minerality to the palate. Nicely structured and round. This is ample and fresh – easy to drink with lots to like. Ageing for 12-14 months in tonneaux and barriques. Drinking 2023 – 2033 – Decanter 91
James Button writes: Oreno’s second wine is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot clones of vines from the estate’s Vigna dell Impero, which was planted in 1935 in Valdarno. The wine is matured in small oak barrels (partly used) for 14 months. The intense currant and spice attack is followed by a wave of fresh acidity and ripe cherry. It’s well balanced, and the long finish offers some herbal and spice notes. Drinking 2023 -2029 – Decanter 90
James Suckling writes: A soft and caressing red with a full body and plush, finely woven tannins. Plenty of dark cherry, mulberry, chocolate and some bark. Citrus zest and dried flowers, too. Lightly chewy at the end. 95% sangiovese and 5% merlot. Try in 2025.
Bruce Sanderson writes: A firm red, featuring cherry and blackberry flavors, with mineral and tobacco accents. Shows depth and balance, with a solid layer of tannins lining the finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2025. – Wine Spectator 90
