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.
97 Vinous
95 Robert Parker
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.
95 Wine Spectator
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
Da sopra le colline vicino a Bolgheri, Tenuta Ornellaia è nascosta tra i pendii delle coste mediterranee. Le fresche brezze marine accarezzano i vigneti e gli uliveti circostanti durante i mesi estivi, mentre durante l'inverno le colline li proteggono dai venti freddi del nord. Ornellaia ritiene che i vini dovrebbero essere prodotti per illustrare l'espressione più vera del terroir originario. La diversità dei terreni della tenuta - marini, alluvionali e vulcanici - insieme al clima marittimo, crea un ambiente in cui prosperano le varietà a bacca rossa e bianca. La miriade di vigneti s’inserisce in questo paesaggio incontaminato come un mosaico, creando un'espressione unica di bellezza, complessità ed eleganza. Tuttavia, l'esperienza, le capacità e la determinazione del team dell'Ornellaia svolgono un ruolo importante nel rafforzamento della qualità e della reputazione della tenuta, poiché è la proprietà stessa che fornisce una fonte continua di ispirazione, suggerendo modi esclusivi ed emozionanti per catturare la sua generosità naturale.
