A blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, the Orma 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma opens to dark and rich fruit with blackberry, plum and sweet prune. Those layers of robust and succulent fruit are followed by generous layers of smoke, tar and campfire ash from the oak. This entry-level Tuscan blend, with 15,000 bottles made, captures a flashy and more contemporary side of the Bolgheri wine identity, showing enough power, intensity and opulence to match up with your favorite cut of steak.

Yum. A rich, dense red with currant, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and tannic, yet polished. Direct finish. This needs time to soften. Second wine of Orma. 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.
