There is lots of bright cherry fruit and bright intensity in the 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma. Its bold and ripe primary fruit is very enjoyable, if simple, but then the wine unfolds with charm. This is a blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. It sees a brief six months in French barrique. You get loads of richness and dark fruit, packaged with slightly less formal appeal. Some 30,000 bottles were produced.

A little loosely knitted right now, but it shows freshness and brightness. Medium to full body with firm tannins. A blend of 40% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 25% cabernet franc.
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.
