Crognolo, the debut wine of Tenuta Sette Ponti, born in 1998 from the Moretti Cuseri family's winemaking project, is an elegant Sangiovese-based Supertuscan with a unique identity: seamlessly blending the enhancement of the land and its grape varieties, excellence, precision, and innovation, all rooted in a tradition capable of evolving. The finest selection of a historic Sangiovese variety from a unique clone found in the Vigna dell’Impero 1935 and propagated throughout the estate’s Sangiovese vineyards. A small addition of Merlot lends roundness and complexity. Its deep ruby red color opens to an intense and complex nose, rich in ripe red fruit like cherries and wild berries, floral hints of violet, aromatic herbs, and spicy notes that impart class and elegance. Structured, complex, mineral and rounded, it suggests excellent aging potential. The name comes from a wild plant – Cornus – that grows abundantly on the estate.
