There’s purity of fruit here with crushed plums, flowers, fresh sage and rosemary on both the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied, yet soft and pretty at the finish. Very drinkable now.
Producer
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
From its position on the hillside close to Bolgheri, the Ornellaia Estate lies hidden amongst the foothills of the Mediterranean coast. The cool sea breezes caress the vineyards and its surrounding olive groves throughout the summer months, while instead, during the winter, the hills provide protection from the cold northern winds. Ornellaia believes that their wines should be produced to illustrate the truest expression of their original terroir. The diversity of the estate’s soils – marine, alluvial and volcanic – coupled with the maritime climate, create an environment in which red and white varietals flourish. The myriad of vineyard plots fit into this untouched landscape like a mosaic, creating a unique expression of beauty, complexity and elegance. However, experience, skill and determination of the Ornellaia team also plays a major role in enhancing the quality and reputation of Ornellaia. For it is the estate itself that provides a continual source of inspiration, suggesting exclusive and exciting ways to capture the property’s natural generosity.
