Star of Bolgheri wines - the appellation of the Tuscan Coast renowned for its Super-Tuscans - this cuvée is a blend of Bordeaux grape varieties grown on varied terroirs which, once blended, help create the complexity of the wine.
Thus, after a few years of aging, it exudes a rich bouquet of very ripe black fruits enhanced with vanilla, empyreumatic and spicy touches.
The palate is not to be outdone and seduces with its opulence, its roundness, its generosity which envelops the palate with its flavors of black olives, as well as its minerality which calls for a second sip.
Ornellaia is a blend of nature and musing. Complex ancient soils converse through human wisdom with a delicate microclimate that is echoed and reflected in the Mediterranean Sea. Prolonged ageing accompanies the estate’s fine wine in achieving its utmost expression, revealing finesse and generosity over time.
