Sette Ponti (“seven bridges”) takes its name from the seven bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence. The 750-acre estate in Chianti produces a range of wines each year, including Oreno, the robust and rewarding flagship red blend first released in 1999. Oreno takes the name of a stream that crosses the estate and is a rich and ripe blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Bright and complex, this offers a core of cherry, plum and cassis fruit with savoury, spicy and leather accents. It’s rich and ripe (with 15% alcohol) but nicely balanced and satisfying in nature. Made for the dinner table, with terrific potential for aging. Drink now-2028. (94/100)
