97 James Suckling
So aromatic and complex with blackcurrants, blueberries, fresh violets and lavender on the nose. Some graphite and iodine, too. Medium to full body with firm, chewy tannins that are polished and refined, yet the palate is so long and refined. This is an Ornellaia with strength in elegance. Try after 2025.

The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is complete and seamlessly stitched together with extreme care and precision. This is an almost technical blend of Merlot (at 50% of the blend for the first time), 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot that offers a true sense of wholeness and consistency that speaks to the blending expertise and experience of the winemaking team. Finding harmony among the various vinous components of the wine was especially important in this vintage that prized early-ripening grapes like Merlot over the others. Blackberry and dried cherry segue to spice, tar, campfire ash and more sweet fruit. We're off to a great start, and this vintage of Ornellaia is surely destined to flesh out and grow more complex with age.

Complex, sophisticated and harmonious, this pure red is marked by black currant, black cherry, cedar, iron and light spice flavors. Bright and focused, with refined tannins emerging on the spice-tinged finish. Discreet and stylish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2040.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
En surplomb sur les hauteurs entourant Bolgheri, le domaine Ornellaia se cache parmi les collines dominant la Méditerranée. Les brises maritimes fraîches caressent les vignobles et les oliveraies alentour durant la période estivale alors qu’en hiver, au contraire, les collines les abritent des vents froids descendant du Nord. Chez Ornellaia, le terroir tient une place particulière et doit s’exprimer de la manière la plus fidèle. La diversité des sols – marins, alluvionnaires et volcaniques – associée au climat maritime créent un environnement de prédilection favorable à l’épanouissement des cépages rouges et blancs. Les nombreuses parcelles de vignes s’inscrivent dans le paysage à la manière d’une mosaïque, à l’origine d’une expression de beauté, de complexité et d’élégance unique. Néanmoins, l’équipe expérimentée, compétente et déterminée d’Ornellaia contribue grandement à accroître la qualité et la réputation du domaine. Car c’est bien ce dernier qui offre une source d’inspiration inépuisable, suggérant des manières exclusives et passionnantes de capter sa générosité naturelle.
