TENUTA SETTE PONTI ORENO IGT TOSCANA 750 ml

Discover the essence of Tuscany captured in Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno IGT Toscana, a red wine named after the historic seven bridges spanning the Arno River between Arezzo and Florence. Constructed starting in the mid-13th century over almost four decades, these enduring structures appear faintly in the distant background of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, symbolizing timeless craftsmanship much like this bold expression from Italy's renowned region.

Pour a glass and admire its deep ruby hue accented by vibrant violet edges, inviting exploration of its layered profile. Aromas unfold with remarkable depth, blending ripe berry impressions that evoke chocolate whispers alongside subtle balsamic hints, creating an intricate bouquet full of promise.

On the palate, Oreno reveals a commanding presence—structured yet lively, with fresh oak influences weaving through to a lingering close that keeps you coming back. James Suckling awards it 98 points, praising scents of blackcurrants and black cherries mingled with floral notes, a medium body framed by exceptionally refined tannins offering precision and energy, all while noting its current reticence and origin from organic grapes. Vinous grants 95 points to the 2021, highlighting its exceptional aromatics, plush richness, and profound texture, where tobacco, espresso, spice, and new leather precede surges of intense dark fruit in a flamboyantly vivid Tuscan style.

This 750 ml bottle, at 14% ABV and with dry sweetness, pairs seamlessly with robust dishes like hearty meats, wild game, or slow-roasted cuts, elevating any meal into a memorable occasion. Whether savoring solo by a fireside or sharing at a gathering, Oreno delivers the dynamic allure of Tuscany's landscapes—bridging history, complexity, and pure drinking pleasure. At $114.99, it's an investment in sophistication that resonates long after the last sip.
