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
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.
