Tasting Note

"This estate is just above Sassicaia on the Bolgheri hill. This wine (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot that spends 12 months in French oak) translates as "the four of us" - the four members of the Ratti family. There's a bit of an amazing story behind this one - following on from a kidnap in Milan during the crazy days of the 80's, the family chose to protect their identity by having "Noi 4" on their door buzzer, rather than their surname. This is a no holes barred - big arse Italian number but it's bloody delicious." Rachael Leach (our former staffer).

Producer

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 70 hectares, 7 of which are set up as vineyards. The estate overlooks Bolgheri and its landscapes made up of gently downsloping hills that enclose the sea, thus creating a unique mild and temperate microclimate. 100% organic, all work done by hand.
