James Suckling
Bright and aromatic with rose, blueberry and currant character. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Such finesse and beauty. Impressive for the vintage.

The 2014 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo shows how vivid and beautiful Sangiovese can be. The wine expresses bright currants, with a hint of savory spices. Drinks well now with roast chicken.(Tasted: September 12, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
A rich, round version, boasting cherry, plum and earth aromas and flavors. Balanced, turning grainy in texture on the finish, where spice accents emerge. Drink now through 2022.
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.
