Sette Ponti - Crognolo - 2021

$49.99

Crognolo is Tenuta Sette Ponti's flagship red, made by the Moretti Cuseri family -- better known for luxury footwear and fashion -- in Valdarno di Sopra, between Florence and Arezzo. They bought their first Sangiovese vines here in 1951; Antonio Moretti Cuseri started bottling under the estate's own name in the 1990s, and Crognolo, first made in 1998, comes from a Sangiovese clone planted in 1935. This 2021 is 90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, aged up to 14 months in oak -- a serious Tuscan red for a big Sunday roast.

Dark cherry, violet and orange peel on the nose, with sweet baking spice. Medium-to-full body, fine chalky tannins, and juicy vivacity through the finish.

Braised short ribs, a peppercorn-crusted ribeye, or aged pecorino.

Sette Ponti sits in Valdarno di Sopra, between Florence and Arezzo, on land once owned by the House of Savoy. The Moretti Cuseri family, known first for luxury footwear and fashion, bought their first vines here in 1951. Antonio Moretti Cuseri began estate-bottled wine under the Sette Ponti name in the 1990s; Crognolo comes from a Sangiovese clone planted in 1935.
