Vigna dell’Impero Valdarno di Sopra DOC
2016
La Tenuta Sette Ponti est située au cœur de la région de Chianti, près d’Arezzo. Le nom de Sette Ponti, ou « sept ponts », fait référence aux sept ponts qui enjambent le fleuve Arno.

This is a reductive wine at first, so decant or open early to allow it to reveal its real beauty. Pure cherries, cedar, lemons, freshly cut herbs, Chinese spices and bark. Focused and linear on the palate with fine tannins, cutthroat acidity and a long, medium-chewy finish. It’s so very Burgundian in approach and style. A wine that makes you think.

An old-vine wine that needs coaxing to come out of the glass. With a little air, it shows dried cherries, earth, orange and strawberrries Beautiful nose. Full body, with loads of fruit, silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. So much in the glass. Subtle and deep. A wonderful and stylish new pure sangiovese from one of the leaders in Tuscany.

This is all about purity, finesse and energy. A line of cherry and raspberry flavors runs through this red, with grace notes of leather, tobacco, graphite and underbrush. Reined-in and firm, yet balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of cherry, mineral and spice.

The 2013 Vigna dell'Impero emerges from a Sangiovese vineyard originally planted in 1935 by King Vittorio Emanuele. Ample and intense, while still maintaining a good deal of Sangiovese translucence, the 2013 exudes richness and pedigree. A host of sweet red cherry, licorice, tobacco and anise build into the succulent, deeply expressive finish. Readers should expect an intense, full-bodied expression of Sangiovese.
