Tenuta Sette Ponti
Oreno Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
First thing I noticed, oddly, is that it created a airy, clearing sensation through my sinuses. It also lingers on the tongue, nettles, white mushroom, fern compost. Drinking it, I get baked red fruit (not jammy), sulfites, and maybe bay leaf. Plan to pet a Bracco Italiano (one of the oldest pointing dog breeds) while drinking.

New world swagger paired to Old world restraint. Young and very drinkable. Notes of leather, tobacco, licorice, and blackberry pie. Medium+ acid and silky tannins.

Lots of cherries and ripe dark fruits with that typical dusty note of super tuscans. This needs a bit more time and plenty of air but was already amazing

Happy Anniversary to me! Full bodied wine; well balanced; blackberry aromas; silky tannins; very good but could be great in a few years

Jun 7th, 2019Wow! Beautiful expression of a super Tuscan. A cross between a old world Bordeaux and a new world eden valley style red! Leather, tar and mineral; all covered with silky red fruit in depth. Very round and long finish and silky!

Great Wines of Italy SFO. The official 2019 guidebook online at www.jamessuckling.com/event/great-wines-italy-usa-2019-guidebook . Not rating since I’m using one glass and most of these wines were only open for a little bit before tasting. Super fun night.
