- Robert Parker / Wine Advocate 94
The 2018 Orma is a generous and bold blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). This wine is built on solid foundations and shows a rich vinous footprint. The fruit is black and concentrated, as is to be expected of a wine of this ambition, and it sits with a dark and almost impenetrable appearance in the glass. Orma shows a careful balance between fruit and oak spice, and both are calibrated to achieve high sensorial impact and intensity. If you're looking for the classic Tuscan blended red with sunshine and power, this release of 25,000 bottles is for you.

Subtle currant, light sandalwood and some cherry aromas. Full-bodied, yet fine-tuned and polished with tannins that melt beautifully into the wine. Long and focused. Beauty and balance to this. Better after 2022.
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.
