Sette Ponti Crognolo

Simply put, this is one heck of a buy.  For anyone who is in search of rich reds this is a must have wine.  Lovers of Cabernet, Bordeaux and Super-Tuscans are going to flip for the amazing offer.  Otherwise suggested to retail for $39.99/btl, we’ve got a limited supply at just $29.99/btl.  That’s one heck of a deal and even more impressive is the producer behind the wine.  This isn’t some ‘no name’, ‘never heard of them’ winery.  The wine we’re offering is Tenuta Sette Ponti’s Crognolo in the highly rated 2021 vintage.

Imported by Kobrand, one of America’s most prestigious shippers of Italian Wine … Sette Ponti is a jewel in the landscape of Tuscan estates.  Situated in Chianti, the property has always been planted to prime vineyards and for decades sold their harvest to the region’s most recognized names.  Owner Antonio Moretti and his father built reputations with the who’s who of Tuscany, including Piero Antinori.  During the mid-1990s, Antonio asked Piero whether he thought great wines could be made from their estate.  Piero gave Antonio confidence the estate was capable of producing the region’s best wines.  Tenuta Sette Ponti was born.

How good is the 2021 vintage for this zone of Tuscany?  Outstanding … Vinous Media says, “The young 2021s offer a combination of fruit purity, bright acids and finesse that is utterly captivating.”

 
Within the fabulous range of Sette Ponti wines sits Crognolo, a rich blend of Sangiovese & Merlot, aged in French Oak barrels to add depth & structure.  Though it drinks beautifully on release, Crognolo is known to age well in short to mid-term cellaring.  Which means you should snatch up a minimum of 6 btls to enjoy over the next 5 years.
