2018 Tenuta Sette Cieli ‘Scipio’ Toscana IGT
£74.00
“Scipio 2018 is a considerable step up from 2017; cleaner, fresher and more fruit forward. Dark plummy fruits combine with a red fruit streak and notes of chocolate, wild herbs and balsam. Concentrated and precise, it shines for its purity of black and blue fruits.”
94 Points, James Button, Decanter
“Rich, almost treacly redcurrant fruit and coffee. Big, broad-shafted tannins, but ripe and well-flexed. The glossy richness of the palate deepens and builds: dates and figs and fine dried-herbs seam. Rich and dark and sweet but the finish is peppery fresh. A wine with iron power under the hedonism.”
17/20 Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
Tenuta Sette Cieli is located between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, on the coast of Tuscany at 400 meters above sea level. The Estate sprawls out over 80 hectares, 10 of which are set up as vineyards. Dry stone wall terraces separate the different grape varieties grown: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, are planted at high density in an ideal terrain for grape viticulture. The Estate overlooks Bolgheri and its landscapes made up of gently down sloping hills that enclose the sea, thus creating a fantastic mild and temperate microclimate.
Cabernet Franc grown at 400 metres above sea level, a unique result, concentrated in very few bottles, vinified separately and aged 24 months in barriques. It seduces with complex fruity aromas and spiced notes. Its finesse and enthusiastic elegance together with the complex structure, make it a wine of rare character, a wine to meditate upon.
