Tenuta Sette Ponti, Oreno Toscana IGT

The grapes are destemmed and selected on a sorting table; fermentation takes place on the skins for over 20 days, with two to three pumpings over daily. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques and ages for 18 months in French oak barrels, 20% new and 80% used. The various batches are then blended and left to rest in wood for a further period before being bottled.

Extremely intense and complex on the nose, with notes of ripe red berries, berry jam, chocolate, spices, and eucalyptus; enveloping, warm, and smooth on the palate, with fine tannins, good flavor, and a long finish.

First courses with game sauces, stewed meats, braised meats, roasts, mature cheeses.
