Ripe red fruits elegantly married with toasted coffee, dark chocolate and pencil shavings aromas. Elegant tannins with a nice, supple feel on the palate with hints of leather and tobacco on the finish. All the hallmarks of a great SuperTuscan! The Oreno was released in 1999, thanks to Dr. Antonio Moretti Cuseri, a great wine lover, who, during his frequent travels, was struck by the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux grape varieties - so much that he decided to plant these varieties on the estate. The name, in fact, comes from a stream which crosses the estate, just in the area rich of clay where the Merlot vines grow; while in the soils with a greater presence of pebbles, which ensure a perfect drainage and perform a self-regulating function of temperature and humidity, Cabernet Sauvignon finds its natural collocation. The perfect complement to the blend is Petit Verdot, traditionally used as a carrier of spicy notes and intensity of flavour. The result is a wine inspired by the Bordeaux style but with a strong Tuscan imprint.
