“The warm, gentle nose features aromas of dried cranberries and cherries, fresh strawberries, tea leaves, peonies, pepper and clay. Cherry and strawberry on the palate meet undertones of stone, earth and orange peel that preserve the nose’s feel. Tannins are polished yet firm, while acid is friendlier.”

“Made with Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Scipio shows a vegetal quality with dried curry leaf, grilled herb and dark slate. You feel the grape in full, and the wine delivers rich generosity, soft texture with barbecued aromas and sweet spice. It is full-bodied, and the tannins are nicely managed. Some 9,200 bottles were released..”

“The Tenuta Sette Cieli 2019 Indaco is a textured wine that has moments of softness and extra richness interwoven with dark fruit, pencil shaving and dried fruit. This vintage naturally delivers concentration and richness, but a dry quality to the fruit remains throughout, especially on the tannins. The blend is equal parts Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."

“The nose is primarily savory, with notes of balsamic, cured meat and stone, while undertones of raspberries and roses provide a light, floral fruitiness. Berries shine on the palate, which is intense and dynamic from the first drop, as the meatiness also persists to create a confident, self-assured wine. On the finish, a wave of salt crashes over everything, like sunset by the sea.”

“The 2021 Noi 4 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc that was raised for about a year in French oak. A deep ruby color, it opens to a fruity bouquet of fresh purple flowers, black raspberry, cherry liqueur, and sweet Mediterranean herbs. Although it’s approachable and full-bodied at first, its tannins and structure make themselves present on the finish.”

“Made from Malbec, Cabernet, and Merlot, the dark red 2019 Indaco is expressive with a floral perfume and ripe fruit with good purity on opening, revealing notes of blueberry, plum, polished cedar, mocha, and sweet herbs. On the palate, its plush fruit gives way to undercurrents of dark mineral earth, saline, and espresso on the finish. It offers ripe but youthful tannins, possibly from wood, and a rather persistent finish. As with the other wines in the range, it’s a great option with a New World sensibility.”

“The 2019 Scipio is deep red with a garnet tinge and opens to melding notes of cherry pie, sweet baking spices, vanilla, and tobacco. This profile continues to the palate with an autumnal feel and notes of dried herbs, rich tannins, and a modest finish. It seems to be maturing more rapidly than the other two wines from Tenuta Sette Cieli and will be best over the next several years.”

“The herbaceous, succulent nose is like a pie cooling on the sill of a forest cabin, as eucalyptus, mint and fennel mingle with dark chocolate and black cherry, above an immediate saltiness. Black cherry highlights the palate, with bitter, medicinal undertones. Substantial acidity balances the dusty, clingy tannins.”

"A lean, intense style, this red delivers cherry, black currant, iron and tobacco flavors framed by toasty oak. Ends with a dusty feel from the tannins on the lingering finish."

"A luscious, expressive red, exuding black cherry, blackberry, kirsch, violet, iron and wild herb aromas and flavors. Tightens up as the dense, refined tannins come into play on the lingering finish."

“A tightly wound style, this is all about elegance as the black currant, blackberry, floral, stone and Tuscan macchia flavors unwind on the palate. Vibrant and balanced, supple in texture and long on the finish.”

'"The 2018 Indaco is classy and polished to the core. Silky and beautifully persistent, the 2018 impresses with its energy and overall poise. Mocha, espresso, blackberry jam, licorice and lavender come together nicely in this understated offering from Sette Cieli. A touch of aeration releases the aromatics nicely."

"The 2018 Scipio (Cabernet Franc) is wonderfully energetic and perfumed. Crushed flowers, mocha, tobacco, cedar and worn-in leather meld into a core of dark-toned fruit. In 2018, Scipio is on the more delicate side of things, but it all works well."

"The 2021 Noi4 is soft, fresh and fruity, making it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and cloves are front and center. Bright floral accents lift the finish beautifully. This mid-weight Bolgheri red is a charmer."

“It is opulent with blackberry compote, eucalyptus, cedar, and sweet tobacco. Plush and polished, it has full body, velvety tannins, a ripe core of concentrated blue and black fruit, and a long finish. Its oak is wonderfully integrated and balanced, and the wine is impressive without being overblown. This exceptional wine is drinking beautifully now and will continue to improve over the following 15 or more years.”

“Ripe with black plum compote, pencil shaving, and menthol tobacco. On the palate, it is full and balanced, with a bit of iron rich meatiness, an elegant texture, ripe tannins, and fresh acidity. This is a balanced and versatile wine.”

“Lush and primary with blue and black fruit, crushed violets, and a subtle tinge of graphite. It full, supple, and approachable, with fine tannins and a clean finish that lifts off the palate. Drink this delightful and joyful wine over the next 5-6 years.”
