This is a fantastic white. The greatest Ornellaia white so far. Very complex and dense yet, at the same time, energetic and vivid. This shows so much richness and density with a pretty, phenolic texture that keeps you entranced. Full-bodied with lots of honeysuckle, green-melon and cooked-apple character. Very long and flavorful. Dynamic and great wine. Drinkable now, but better in 2021.

The 2016 Ornellaia Bianco is a beguiling wine, even a bit deceptive when you get down to facts. This is indeed the central part of its irresistible charm. For one, this edition is a mono-variety wine made solely with Sauvignon Blanc. (The other protagonist of the blend, Viognier, is said to return in 2017.) However, the complexity of the bouquet could mistakenly make you think the blend is more intricate. You get white rose, crisp apple, saffron, toasted pine nut, cinnamon and wild sage. The aromas show brilliant detailing. In addition, the wine is expansive and creamy in terms of mouthfeel. However, none of the whites at Ornellaia—including this wine—undergo malolactic fermentation, though the creamy and richly textured mouthfeel might lead you to conclude otherwise. This classic vintage is especially generous and rich. The wine does see barrique aging, but only a third of the wood is new. Those spicy endnotes serve to frame the beautiful fruit that sits squarely at center stage.

The 2016 Ornellaia Bianco has more nuance, freshness and layers of flavors than the 2015 tasted alongside it. I very much like the delineation and energy that are such signatures of the 2016.

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.
