Tasting Notes

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec. 1100 cases made. Indaco 2019 is the purest and finest it's been. It's the wine that goes toe to toe with Sassicaia. This is a wine we would love to see being drunk and not just stashed away. Yes it will keep another 10 years, but enjoying it now is a pleasure. You get Tuscan warmth and smoothness, along with beautifully defined aromas and flavours, with some blackcurrant, leafiness and tobacco.

More Info

Sette Cieli arrived on the Tuscan scene a few years after the boundary lines of the Bolgheri appellation had been drawn. At the time the boundary was set, no one thought someone would plant above the woods on the next hillside over from Sassicaia, but actually above Gaja's Bolgheri property, Ca' Marcanda. But they did. Originally intended as a place to breed horses and a family retreat. Wine-loving friends came to visit and pointed out Sassicaia’s original vineyard, under the castle, that you see when you look over your right shoulder, and then a bit to the left of that, the Masseto vineyard. So they started to plant vines in 2000, and since 2012, the young Ambrogio Cremona Ratti who inherited the domain has been at the helm. He brought in winemaker Elena Pozzolini who came back to the area after several years of international experience in Argentina and California, and they share some of the viticultural team of Ornellaia. As Matthew Jukes says "this estate is a superstar in the making."

FROM THE PRESS

“The scent of iris and violet and orris root floats above the glass – too river-stone cool to be heady, but too fragrant to be stony. The wine is like a warm summer night, the way it moves over the skin: a flow so laminar it is stillness. Midnight-blue fruit soaking through the cashmere tannins. Dark-red wild berries curling through the cracks in the stone-and-iron minerality. Cool oakmoss breath of cistus warming into musk as it becomes saturated with the quiet, graceful beauty of the fruit. It's glorious right now but has a long life ahead. Drink 2024 to 2035. 17.5pts. ”
