Oreno is the flagship wine of Tenuta Sette Ponti, representing the estate’s most ambitious and internationally styled expression. Produced from carefully selected vineyard parcels in the Valdarno di Sopra, it combines Tuscan terroir with a Bordeaux-inspired blend, resulting in a wine that is both polished and powerful.
The blend is typically composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, a combination that delivers structure, depth and aromatic complexity. Unlike traditional Tuscan wines centred on Sangiovese, Oreno takes a more modern approach, focusing on richness and precision while maintaining balance and clarity.
Aromatically, the wine typically reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, layered with notes of cocoa, cedar, graphite and sweet spice. Subtle floral and herbal nuances add lift, while the overall profile leans toward depth and concentration.
On the palate, Oreno is full-bodied and richly textured, with a dense core of dark fruit supported by finely integrated tannins. The structure is firm yet polished, with a smooth, expansive mouthfeel balanced by freshness and acidity. The wine shows both power and control, delivering a long, composed finish.
Élevage in French oak contributes to the wine’s complexity and integration, adding notes of vanilla, toast and spice while enhancing texture. The winemaking approach is focused on achieving harmony between fruit, structure and oak, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and refined.
With time in bottle, Oreno develops increasing complexity, with notes of tobacco, leather and earthy nuance emerging alongside its fruit core. It is a wine capable of medium- to long-term ageing, while also offering appeal in its youth due to its polished style.
Oreno has become one of the most recognisable modern Tuscan wines, valued for its consistency, international appeal and strong critical reception. For collectors, it represents a benchmark IGT wine, combining precision, richness and a contemporary interpretation of Tuscan winemaking.
