Tenuta Sette Cieli - Monteverdi Marittimo

Dream

From Erika's dream a project was born: discover the soul of a wild terrain and transform it into a great wine

Our aim: produce the ideal wine respecting nature. Our journey started in 2001, when we first began to plant the rst vineyards at 400 meters near Bolgheri. An enchanting location: Tenuta Sette Cieli can be found on top of the hills, looking out over terraced vineyards and the Tyrrhenian Sea, surrounded by the lush woods of Monteverdi Marittimo. Today Erika’s strength and courage live on in a dream with Ambrogio and Acqua. Tenuta Sette Cieli: an heritage.

Estate

SETTE CIELI, ABOVE US ONLY SKY

Tenuta Sette Cieli is located between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, on the coast of Tuscany at 400 meters above sea level. The Estate sprawls out over 80 hectares, 10 of which are set up as vineyards. Dry stone wall terraces separate the different grape varieties grown: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, are planted at high density in an ideal terrain for grape viticulture. The Estate overlooks Bolgheri and its landscapes made up of gently down sloping hills that enclose the sea, thus creating a fantastic mild and temperate microclimate.

Terroir

GREAT WINES CAN ONLY BE MADE IN A GREAT TERROIR

The strength of this terroir: a unique microclimate, well ventilated with important atmospheric temperature ranges, and a medium textured soil where fractions of rocks, sand and clay merge together for a suitable site for grape production. The great strength of the microclimate, together with these not too vigorous terrains, results in an enviable balance that allows for consistent and complete maturations of the grapes.

Tradition

FROM AN OBSESSIVE CARE IN THE VINEYARDS, A CAREFUL WORK IN THE CELLAR, COME WINES WITH A GREAT PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER

Fully respecting nature and the vines, we have chosen organic viticulture to cooperate to the safekeeping and valorisation of the environment, a value that cannot be separated from quality when working with nature. In the vineyards, every operation is done by hand with careful and fastidious attention to every detail. The journey continues in the cellar where, moreover, the careful labour of the vineyards goes on, using single-variety vinifcation. Fermentation starts with wild yeasts, found on the skins of the grapes, so all the process is natural. The final selection of the wines is done only after a period of barrel ageing in French oak barrels.

Wines

OUR DREAM: TRANSFORM THE TENACITY AND THE STRENGTH OF THE TERROIR IN GREAT WINES, RESPECTING WHAT NATURE GIVES US AND THE VALUES WE BELIEVE IN.

Noi 4

Ripe sweet fruits give way to a wine with a very defined and yet very different character when compared to the other estate’s wines, born from grapes that are grown in Bolgheri, at sea level. A blend born of the desire to explore new territories, refined in barriques for 15 months, powerful fitting for a Bolgheri wine.
