Tasting Notes
An outstanding blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Malbec. It's deep and lovely and concentrated, and so together, nice tight knit but open expression, with fine, structured but polished tannins. Brilliant with steak/roast beef. You could really just enjoy it slowly in a big glass with some cheese. "The 2018 Indaco is classy and polished to the core. Silky and beautiful and persistent, the 2018 impresses with its energy and overall poise. Mocha, espresso and blackberry jam, licorice and lavender come together nicely in this understated offering from Sette Cieli. 93 points" Vinous, Antonio Galloni
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."
