2019 Tenuta Sette Ponti 'Sette' Merlot Tuscany

Winemaker Notes: Intense ruby red in color with a fruity, spicy bouquet and ripe cherry and berries on the palate. Delicious with full-flavored meats, game and roasts.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - “Wow. Lots of depth and richness on the nose, with red fruit that then turns to blue and violet fruit with attractive wood and tapenade notes. Full-bodied and very layered with ripe tannins and depth and richness at the end, yet remaining fresh at the same time. Try after 2027."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Here is a new submission from Tenuta Sette Ponti. A pure expression of Merlot, the 2019 Sette is a blend of fruit from three vineyard sites— Cipressi, Nocetta 1 and Sorbaccio—all found on the estate. This wine is soft and velvety from the get-go with lots of black fruit and rich concentration. Black cherry, dried blackberry, sweet spice and a hint of dried mint appear on the bouquet. This is a super generous and immediate wine that puts it all out there for you to enjoy. The wine is absolutely transparent in terms of its pleasure factor. There are no hidden agendas in this true crowd-pleaser."
