In the pantheon of Tuscan winemaking, there are moments of pure alchemy – and Sette from Tenuta Sette Ponti epitomises such a moment. Seven different Merlot vineyards, seven different souls, seven unique terroirs that Antonio Moretti Cuseri has blended into a harmonious symphony. A magnificent tribute to the art of winemaking that shows how diversity can give rise to unity.

Cypresses, Salvareccio I and II, Poggio Sinistro, Sorbaccio, Nocetta I and II: each of these seven organically farmed vineyards has its own climatic identity between north and south exposure at an altitude of 250-300 metres. These 15-20 year old Merlot vines thrive in the clay and sand-rich soils of the Valdarno, each characterised by its exposure, location and terroir. And year after year, after careful tasting, the winemaking team selects the three best "Stiori" – as the old vineyards are affectionately called – whose characteristics perfectly match the respective vintage and which are then also documented on the back label.

The 2022 has an intense ruby red colour with purple hues and a bouquet of small red fruits, blackberries and plums, interwoven with roasted elements. Structured and persistent on the palate, with silky, elegant tannins that bear witness to the careful selection and craftsmanship. A rare Merlot with unique complexity and class. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Sette 2022, 100% Merlot, offers ripe red fruit, rose petals, mint, cinnamon and cedar wood. Soft, plush contours envelop it. The 2022 is a very beautiful, seductive wine from Sette Ponti." Vinous

"Smooth and elegant, this red wine exudes flavours of cherry, pomegranate, plum and wild herbs. Notes of flowers, mushrooms and truffles make it unmistakable. Remains juicy and long, but also fresh. Merlot." Wine Spectator

"A potpourri of different stone fruit flavours opens the round dance, then also blackberries, dried flowers, lavender and mocha; dense on the palate, the tannins supple, the acidity lively, then also a lot of density and ripe fruit in the final. A wine of character." Vinum

"Wild aromas of white truffles, chocolate, fresh herbs, blackberries and a hint of basil. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine, giving it structure and a slight bite. Juicy on the finish. Pure Merlot." James Suckling
