Sette is a great tribute to the art of winemaking, originating from seven different organic vineyards of Merlot. Each, with its own microclimatic characteristics giving birth to seven different wines, alternately chosen for characteristics and personality, then blended and aged to make Sette. The wine is made from a careful selection of different Merlots, with regard to, exposure, location, terroir and the characteristics of the vintage. The agronomic and viticultural techniques, which have been consolidated over time for these vineyards, allow for excellent results, even during the most adverse seasons. Vineyards, Cypresses, Salvareccio I, Salvareccio II, Poggio Sinistro, Sorbaccio, Nocetta I, Nocetta II, are each of different sizes and characteristics. The vineyard conditions include excellent ventilation, good drainage, richness of organic matter, ideal soil composition (60% sand, 30% clay, 10% silt), and good humidity during the summer – since Merlot does not like drought – to obtain maximum expressions of quality and taste of the grapes.

Harvest Note
The Tuscan winter was a mild and not very rainy one, with cold peaks in February. April recorded a low temperatures with abundant rainfall, postponing the budding of the vineyards to late May. The vegetative recovery was clear and decisive, with plants that grew in balance, under the May sun. The summer was hot and intense with limited rain, but the constant ventilation created the ideal microclimate for the grapes, which reached maturity in September.
