In the same family since the 1950s, Antonio Moretti Cuseri released the first wines under their own Sette Ponti label (Seven Bridges, named for the bridges over the famous Arno river between Florence and Arezzo) in 1998. The family has made Sette Ponti into a modern powerhouse, with best-selling wines such as Crognolo and Oreno. The very limited Vigna dell'Impero bottling is named for the oldest vineyard on the property, consisting of organically farmed Sangiovese planted in 1935, making this arguably their most "traditional" wine.

WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS - "This is all about purity, finesse and energy. A line of cherry and raspberry flavors runs through this red, with grace notes of leather, tobacco, graphite and underbrush. Reined-in and firm, yet balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of cherry, mineral, and spice. Best from 2021 through 2045."
