Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Poggio al Lupo is deep, opaque purple in color suggesting its considerable intensity and extraction. The heady aromas deliver jammy black berry fruit and cassis impressions wiht notes of balsam wood and cedar which are confirmed on a palate of great silky voluptuousness. The finish is long, penetrating and seductive.

    Fascinating aromas of blackberry, cedar, tea and red licorice lead to a full body, with firm, polished tannins and a fresh finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante and Petit Verdot. Best after 2012

    Poggio Al Lupo is a super Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante and Petit Verdot that delivers loads of chocolate fudge, spice, mature fruit and sweet tobacco. The wine is soft, smoot and makes a perfect companion to succulent meat dishes.

    Antonio Moretti purchased this property in the Morellino di Scansano zone in 1999. The wine is predominantly cabernet sauvignon (70 percent) blended with equal parts alicante and petit verdot, which together seem to capture the lean, aristocratic, tannic profile of the more traditional varieties of Tuscany. It's delicate and perfumed, melding sweet red fruit with savory tannin. The layers of flavor will develop with bottle age, though it would drink well now with pappardelle and rabbit ragù.

    The 2007 Poggio al Lupo, from the estate’s vineyards in Maremma, shows the typical warmth and generosity of the wines from the Tuscan coast. Dark red fruit, espresso, mocha and spices come together nicely in this rich, textured offering. Only the slightly drying tannins and a slight sense of heaviness prevent the score from moving higher. Poggio al Lupo is Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante and Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.

Tenuta Sette Ponti, Italy
Tenuta Sette Ponti Winery Video

The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, fifteen miles northwest of the city of Arezzo just past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. The Via del Monte, known locally as the Via dei Sette Ponti, leads into a beautiful hidden valley and to the estate. The name Sette Ponti, or "seven bridges," refers to the seven bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence. Erected in the mid 13th century, it took nearly forty years to build, and is perceptible in the right far background of Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa.

Tenuta Sette Ponti, is, like many Tuscan estates, multi-faceted. The 750-acre property supports livestock and mixed agriculture, and although viticulture is not new to the estate, winemaking is; the yield of the property's vineyards was until 1997 sold to various respected Tuscan wine producers, among them Piero Antinori. Dr. Moretti's enjoyment of wine led him to ask Antinori if the estate vineyards could produce great wines, and Antinori thought they could. The estate has since been transformed through the consultation of respected oenologist Carlo Ferrini and his assistant, Gioia Cresti; Gilbert Bouvet, one of France's most skilled viticulturalists; and agronomist Benedetto d'Anna.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
