Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo 2024

Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo 2024 is a Tuscan red led by Sangiovese, with a small addition of Merlot to soften its character. Made from carefully selected grapes grown in the estate’s historic vineyards, it combines the structure and ageing potential of Sangiovese with a more rounded, approachable edge.

Tasting Notes
The 2024 vintage’s specific tasting notes are not provided. Based on its grape blend and élevage, expect a deep ruby appearance, with aromas and flavours likely centred on ripe red fruit, complemented by the subtle, delicate notes imparted by used French oak. Sangiovese brings structure and freshness, while Merlot contributes softness; the estate describes the wine as having long ageing potential.

Production
The grapes come from well-drained soils rich in galestro, a characteristic Tuscan rock that contributes to the vineyards’ drainage. The wine is made predominantly from selected Sangiovese, with a small addition of Merlot. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by three weeks of skin maceration. It then matures for 14 months in French oak barrels used once before, and spends a further six months in bottle before release. Harvesting methods are not specified.

Food & Serving
Try it with grilled or roasted meats, Tuscan-style sausages, tomato-based pasta dishes, or aged Pecorino. Serve at around 16–18°C. A brief decant of 30–60 minutes can help the wine open up, particularly if enjoying it young.

Producer
Tenuta Sette Ponti has belonged to the Morelli Cuseri family since the 1950s, when they acquired the first 60 hectares from Princesses Margherita and Maria Cristina of Savoy. The estate lies in an area recognised for its winemaking importance since the time of the Medici and protected by a 1716 edict from Grand Duke Cosimo III. Its name refers to the bridges over the Arno, including one depicted in Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The estate is regarded as one of Tuscany’s prestigious producers.
