Sette Ponti's flagship bottling, Oreno, is always among the best wines to come out of Tuscany each year, often selling for closer to $100 a bottle. So when this offer landed on our desks, we didn't blink for a second. $59.99 a bottle for one of the top Tuscans from 2006! The only problem is that we could not get all of the wine that we wanted at this price. Unfortunately this won't last that long...grab some before it's gone.
Shows loads of black licorice, blackberry and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long, long finish. Has wonderful concentration and balance. Structured. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best after 2013. 3,250 cases made.

The 2006 Oreno (50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot) combines elements of ripeness and firm, vibrant structure in a beautifully-balanced, gorgeous wine. Tar, smoke, licorice, new leather and menthol notes emerge, adding layers of expressiveness to the dark fruit. This is a powerful Oreno made in a less immediate style than the 2007. With time, though, the wine’s inner sweetness comes through, suggesting that this wine has a very bright future. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021.
