Rezensionen & Bewertungen
99 James Suckling
This is a fantastic white. The greatest Ornellaia white so far. Very complex and dense yet, at the same time, energetic and vivid. This shows so much richness and density with a pretty, phenolic texture that keeps you entranced. Full-bodied with lots of honeysuckle, green-melon and cooked-apple character. Very long and flavorful. Dynamic and great wine. Drinkable now, but better in 2021.

The 2016 Ornellaia Bianco is a beguiling wine, even a bit deceptive when you get down to facts. This is indeed the central part of its irresistible charm. For one, this edition is a mono-variety wine made solely with Sauvignon Blanc. (The other protagonist of the blend, Viognier, is said to return in 2017.) However, the complexity of the bouquet could mistakenly make you think the blend is more intricate. You get white rose, crisp apple, saffron, toasted pine nut, cinnamon and wild sage. The aromas show brilliant detailing. In addition, the wine is expansive and creamy in terms of mouthfeel. However, none of the whites at Ornellaia—including this wine—undergo malolactic fermentation, though the creamy and richly textured mouthfeel might lead you to conclude otherwise. This classic vintage is especially generous and rich. The wine does see barrique aging, but only a third of the wood is new. Those spicy endnotes serve to frame the beautiful fruit that sits squarely at center stage.

The 2016 Ornellaia Bianco has more nuance, freshness and layers of flavors than the 2015 tasted alongside it. I very much like the delineation and energy that are such signatures of the 2016.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Die Tenuta Dell’Ornellaia liegt auf einem Hügel nahe Bolgheri, versteckt zwischen den Gebirgsausläufern an der Küste des Mittelmeers. Die kühlen Meeresbrisen schmeicheln den Weinbergen und umstehenden Olivenhainen in den Sommermonaten, während im Winter die Hügel Schutz gegen die kalten Nordwinde bieten. Bei Ornellaia ist man der Überzeugung, dass die eigenen Weine den ureigensten Ausdruck des ursprünglichen Terroirs spiegeln müssen. Die Vielfalt der Böden an diesem Ort – Meeresboden, Schwemmland und Vulkanboden – in Kombination mit dem Seeklima schaffen eine Umgebung, in der dunkle wie weiße Sorten prächtig gedeihen. Die unzähligen Weinbergparzellen legen sich wie ein Mosaik in diese unberührte Landschaft und erschaffen damit eine Komposition aus Schönheit, Komplexität und Eleganz. Aber auch die Erfahrungen, die Fähigkeiten und die Entschlossenheit des Teams von Ornellaia spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Steigerung der Qualität und des Ansehens dieses Erzeugers. Denn es ist das Anwesen selbst, das eine nie versiegende Quelle der Inspiration ist und ungewöhnliche, aufregende Wege aufzeigt, um den natürlichen Reichtum dieses Ortes einzufangen.
