Showing exceptional density and thickness, the 2012 Orma is a monumental red wine from Tuscany. The blend is 50% Merlot with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc in supporting roles. Compared to the 2011 vintage, this edition of Orma shows tighter tannins and a longer aging potential. In fact, the wine presents itself as very young and tight at this moment. It is at the beginning of its evolution. If you love juicy, thick reds from Tuscany with dark fruit nuances, spice and chocolate, this wine is for you.

Rich black cherry, plum, earth and tobacco flavors are wrapped in dense tannins in this red, which shows ample sweetness midpalate, with a fresh, crisp, long finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2024. 5,000 cases made. –BS

Lots of blackcurrants and blackberry aromas and flavors with hints of bark and mushrooms. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. A powerful red with plenty of structure and depth. This Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri is a challenger to Sassicaia and Ornellaia. Better in 2018.
The producer: Podere Orma
One wine, one single estate. Orma is the name of both the monumental Italian estate, and their only wine in production. Along Tuscany’s prestigious coast, the Bolgheri village is home to this small 5.5-hectare estate. Similarly owned by the Moretti family of Tenuta Sette Ponti, the Orma property was purchased in 1996 by Arezzo-born entrepreneur, Antonio Moretti. The perfect balance between power and finesse, Orma reflects the Bolgheri terroir and style with its undeniable enthusiastic spirit. This legendary red is a classic Bordeaux blend of 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, which will impress even the most skeptical critics. The rich, concentrated, and most of all, elegant Orma is an emblematic wine, ranking amongst Italy’s best – Sassicaia and Ornellaia. Orma is without a doubt a leading figure on the Tuscan wine front.
