Tenuta di Gracciano d. Seta

Racy elegant Rosso di Montepulciano, lean and feminine, with the aromas of ripe red cherries and good length. SUPERIORE.DE

"A medium-bodied Rosso di Montepulciano with vibrant cherry and strawberry aromas and a floral note. Juicy, pristine palate, loaded with cherries and plums and some nice, sandblasted tannins. A little short, but clean and quite fruity." James Suckling

Discreet ruby red with light reflections. Warm, well-dosed bouquet of wild berries, cherries and some smoke. On the palate, fine-meshed tannin, plus lots of juice and fruit, floral and spicy notes, compact. A fine salty vein in the harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. In the nose first after red beet and slightly earthy nuances, then after rich cherries and ripe raspberries, slightly resinous, fine spice. Compact and present on the palate, opens with a juicy core and tight tannin, shows fine wood spice, with persistence." Falstaff

"Juicy and elegant, this offers bright red cherry, dried thyme, wild rose and orange peel. Finessed, clinging tannins are decidedly chalky in texture. Mid-weight and mouth cleansing, it finishes with an almost grapefruit tang. Winemaker Giuseppe Rigoli says that even ripening allowed the estate to pick Sangiovese at full phenolic ripeness in the first week of October. Though Merlot only ever makes up a small percentage of the blend, there is even less than usual as the vines were hit with downy mildew." Decanter

"Camphor, forest berry and rosemary aromas shape the enticing nose on this fragrant red. Elegantly structured, the lithe palate offers sour cherry, orange zest and star anise alongside fine-grained tannins and bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Intense ruby red Vino Nobile Riserva with a spicy bouquet of aromas of dried fruits, cinnamon, cloves and liquorice. Smooth on the palate with diverse nuances, beautiful fullness, structure and intensity, supple tannins. Very elegant pleasure at an excellent price. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, noble ruby red. The nose is appealing, fragrant, with ripe raspberries underpinned by a hint of peppermint, a pinch of lovage and light leather in the aftertaste. Firm and sturdy on the palate, with a red berry core and tight tannin, it pulls finely across the tongue, very classic, with a considerably juicy finish." Falstaff

"Rather than hailing from a single vineyard, Gracciano delle Seta’s Riserva is a harvest selection. In 2017, the grapes were picked about a week earlier than usual. Initial aromas of prune cake and sweet spice speak to the warmth of the vintage, freshening up as fennel and lavender take hold. The fruit is plush but not heavy, and elevated by an underlying juiciness. Soft tannins give a gentle grip on the finish." Decanter

"Aromas of red berry, rose and camphor slowly expand in the glass to include accents of dark spice. Supremely elegant, the lithe, savory palate features juicy black cherry, raspberry compote and licorice before closing on a ground cinnamon note. Taut, fine-grained tannins provide polished support."
