Sette Cieli Scipio from Tenuta Sette Cieli is a remarkable single-varietal wine crafted entirely from Cabernet Franc, a grape varietal cherished for its robust character and aromatic complexity. Hailing from the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, famed for its superlative red wines, this wine is an exemplar of the area’s unique terroir—a combination of maritime influences and mineral-rich soils. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting and traditional fermentation methods. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which adds a layer of sophistication with notes of vanilla and cedar, mellowing the wine’s naturally pronounced tannins. Acclaimed by oenophiles, Scipio has gained accolades for its deep structure and elegance. Tenuta Sette Cieli’s dedication to sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking enhances the wine’s purity and expression of the terroir.
