Tenuta Sette Ponti

Tenuta Sette Ponti

Tenuta Sette Ponti has been a cherished estate of the Moretti Cuseri family since the 1950s, when Alberto Moretti Cuseri acquired it from the Princesses of Savoy-Aosta. This region gained prominence in 1716 when Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici recognized it as one of Tuscany's top four wine-producing areas. With a deep passion for viticulture, Tenuta Sette Ponti has established itself as a producer of prestigious wines known worldwide. The estate spans 330 hectares, with 60 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The name “Sette Ponti” translates to “Seven Bridges,” referencing the seven bridges over the Arno River connecting Florence and Arezzo. Among these, the Ponte Buriano, built between 1240 and 1277, is famously featured in Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces, the Mona Lisa and the Madonna of the Yard.
