THE STORY
“Like many Tuscan estates, Sette Ponti is multi-faceted. Viticulture is not new to the estate, but winemaking is; the yield of the property's vineyards was until 1997 sold to various respected Tuscan wine producers, among them Piero Antinori. Dr. Moretti's enjoyment of wine led him to ask Antinori if the estate vineyards could produce great wines, and Antinori thought they could.Once the decision to transform the vineyards was made, he engaged one of Italy's most innovative oenologists, Dr. Carlo Ferrini, and his assistant, Gioia Cresti. Dr. Ferrini consults independently for some of the great names of Tuscan viticulture, including Poliziano, Castello di Fonterutoli and Castello del Terriccio. After considerable research, he also engaged Gilbert Bouvet, one of France's most skilled viticulturalists, to source new vines and the appropriate rootstocks for the best clones of Sangiovese. Sette Ponti's varied soils, which are a mixture of clay, sand, limestone and the traditional stony galestro of Chianti, led Dr. Moretti to consulting agronomist Dr. Benedetto d'Anna, who guided preparation of the land for new plantings and creation of drainage channels without disturbing the natural balance of soil.”
