Oreno Toscana IGT 2023
Trade Tools
Italy / Tuscany
Oreno was first created in 1999 by Dr. Antonio Moretti Cuseri, an avid winelover, who, during his frequent travels, was impressed by the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux grapes, so much so, that he decided to plant the varieties at his own estate. He grafted established vineyards with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, which adapt extremely well to the terroirs of Tuscany. The name Oreno comes from a stream that crosses the estate, precisely in an area rich in clay, where Sette Ponti's Merlot vines grow.
Harvest Note
A challenging year targeted by the repercussions of lots of rain in spring that favored the development of plant diseases and that created difficulties in ripening leding to a drop in production, but not to the detriment of quality. Further manual selections were made within the individual bunches, finding a quality of the masses among the best ever. Less quantity, but very high quality.
Tasting Note
Ruby red with violet hues. Intense and broad aromatic baggage, where notes of succulent red fruits emerge and give way to spicy characters of licorice and roasted coffee. Powerful and structured, with velvety tannins in balance with a vibrant, crisp character. Finish of remarkable length and savoriness.
