"The 2008 Oreno is stunningly beautiful. An open, expressive bouquet laced with mint, red berries, roses and spices emerges with superb clarity and balance. The tension between the minerality of the vintage and the rich expression of fruit that is one of the houseās hallmarks play off each other beautifully here. The finish is utterly exquisite in its beguiling beauty. The 2008 isnāt the most powerful Oreno ever made, but it is quite possibly the most elegant, impeccably refined wine I have ever tasted here. Simply put, it is fabulous juice! In 2008 the percentage of Sangiovese is way down and Oreno is predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, a decision that has paid off handsomely. These superb releases from Sette Ponti include a fabulous version of the Oreno, perhaps the finest vintage ever made."
