Because of Tenuta Sette Cieli’s respect for nature, the winery has chosen organic practices to safeguard the environment. Everything is done by hand in the vineyards, with careful attention to each detail. The journey continues in the cellar where the winery employs single-variety vinification. Fermentation starts with wild yeasts, and the final selection of the wines is done only after a period of barrel aging in French oak barrels.

Tenuta Sette Cieli's Elena Pozzolini gained winemaking experience in Argentina, Australia, and California before returning to Italy and joining Tenuta Sette Cieli as Winemaker and CEO in 2013. Since then, Elena has had her hands in every aspect of the winery, from making the wine to managing the business to handling export sales.

Winemaker Notes

Scipio 2017, made from 100% Cabernet Franc, is a rich, deep and complex wine that interprets what was a particularly warm and sunny year. The taste reveals a great balance due to a high natural acidity that gives a pleasant freshness and firmness.

Aged in French oak for 20 months, followed by another 20 months in bottle. The wine is soft, yet precise with aromas of baking berry pie, eucalyptus, cedar, and cigar box. aromas of Savoury spices of clove, sage & cinnamon Reminiscent of classic Bordeaux from the 70's & 80's
