The Orma 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma (a blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals extra ripeness and softness with black plum, tobacco, rosemary and a hint of Greek olive. This is an easy-drinking, medium-bodied red with the fruity softness and natural freshness to pair with classic pasta and meat ragù. Like many of its peers, you do taste the hot vintage in this wine. Production is 29,000 bottles.

You really sense the sea and brightness here, with super-fine tannins and a long and beautiful palate. Medium body, fine tannins and a lightly chewy structure. 40% merlot, 35% cabernet and 25% cabernet franc. Try after 2023, but already delicious.
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.
