Tenuta Sette Ponti

Tenuta Sette Ponti is a family‑owned Tuscan estate located between Florence and Arezzo in the Valdarno area, with a history dating back to the 13th century.

Acquired by the Moretti family in the 1950s and transformed into a leading wine producer from the late 1990s, the estate is now recognised for its high‑quality Super Tuscan wines. Combining tradition with innovation, it focuses on producing elegant, structured wines that express both the heritage and diversity of its terroir.

Viticulture

The vineyards are situated between 200 and 300 metres above sea level on varied soils including clay, limestone and galestro, offering excellent drainage and complexity. A mix of indigenous Sangiovese and international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot are cultivated, benefiting from optimal exposure and cooling breezes that promote balanced ripening. Vineyard work is largely manual, with careful selection and increasing attention to sustainability ensuring high‑quality fruit and consistent expression of site.

Winemaking

Winemaking at Tenuta Sette Ponti blends modern techniques with a low‑intervention philosophy to preserve fruit purity and structure. Fermentation takes place in a combination of temperature‑controlled stainless steel, concrete and ceramic vessels, often with natural fermentation encouraged. Ageing is carried out in French oak barrels or large casks depending on the wine, resulting in styles that balance richness, complexity and elegance with notable ageing potential. [alliancewine.com]
