- A deep and rich character in its cassis, black cherry, graphite and liquorice aromas and flavours. Medium to full-bodied, fine tannins and a great finish.
-
64% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot. Semi-concealed in the foothills near Bolgheri, Ornellaia lies close to the Mediterranean coast. During the summer months, the cool sea breeze caresses the vineyards, while during the winter the hills provide protection from the cold north winds.
- Ornellaia is one of Tuscany’s most iconic wines and, in the words of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, it’s “one of Italy’s blue-chip properties”.
- Pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted lamb, roast beef, or a hearty steak pie.
- Can age wonderfully for at least 10 years.
The medium bodied silky blackcurrant fruit on the mid palate, shows great vim & vigour, with the vibrant leaf bud element of the increased percentage of the Cabernet Franc visible. Great grip of well intergrated tannins.
