Great producer with a unique backstory. Was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to her for a while at tasting event about her vineyard, winery, and methods. Glad to see this is back in the Charleston market. Spice and fruit notes and the nose lead on to pallet with great balance and length. — 8 years ago
This wine was excellent. It was strong in smell but incredibly drinkable. It was very complex and different. It gave us a nice feel as well. Highly recommend. — 8 years ago

2011 vintage on April 17 2015. Agree with comments about a great everyday chianti Classico as your house chianti. Dry but beats down the cheese in a pizza in a good way. — 11 years ago
Last bottle in Italy! — 12 years ago
Nice Chianti Classico. Sangiovese with just a little Merlot and Syrah blended in. Dark berry and plum aromas and flavors with hints of slate, tar, graphite, chocolate and baking spices. Very Complex, Vibrant and tannic. Long finish. Thanks Keith S for serving this one! — 5 years ago
My 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. — 8 years ago

Excellent wine. Great finish. A little expensive but worth it. — 11 years ago
Really tasty. Much softer and fruit forward than I expected. Tasted fantastic alone and could have stood up to any hearty meal. I'd buy this again in a minute and serve it proudly - it will easily please those that enjoy new and old world alike. — 11 years ago
Reason this is a consistent 90pt wine, it's very good. Bouquet is a dusty, peppery bowl of dark cherry. Taste is bright fruit, peppery, dark berry, a bit chewy and leathery. Great with a spicy Italian dish and Sinatra in the background ! — 12 years ago
This is a steady performer. Packs a punch, definitely in the greater years. Quite modern. On day three (!) it showed it's stuff. — 12 years ago
Just an outstanding bottle. Solid core of dried cherry and black plum fruit. Showing great balance and nuance, with a softening texture and secondary flavors coming through. Everything you could want in a Chianti Classico normale and drinking brilliantly now. Bravo! — 6 years ago
Lush, plump fruit but layered with Old World dust and rustic charm. Menthol, licorice, herbs and leather permeate throughout. Surprisingly bright fruit profile and vibrancy for such a ripe and high-alcohol vintage. It manages to not be overpowering or food-averse which in itself is a great feat given the extreme ripeness. We were all pleasantly charmed by this bottle, which was a magnum served with old school NYC-style veal saltimbocca. — 8 years ago
Black underripe cherry. Herb, lilac. Evolves in the glass. — 8 years ago

Decent Sangiovese blend from Tuscany. Fruit forward and delicious with spicy notes like black currant and plum. Not my favorite Tuscan in the $30-50 range — 5 years ago
