The grapes are meticulously selected from the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the region's ideal climate and soil conditions. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth. Oreno is known for its rich and opulent flavor profile, featuring notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice, supported by velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.

The Tenuta Sette Ponti 2019 Oreno celebrates the wine's 20th anniversary (1999-2019) with a special label and a heavy glass bottle. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot is beautifully ripe and generous with impeccable fruit throughout. Its primary intensity is delivered with energy and character, showcasing broad brush aromas of black fruit, exotic spice, cured tobacco and new leather. The tannins are quite strong in this edition and do make for a brief moment of astringency on the close. This is a thickly extracted blended Tuscan red, and it makes sense that its fiber and structure is also more compact and concentrated in 2019.
