Ornellaia Description
Indulge in the luxurious experience of Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Rosso, a masterpiece that epitomizes the fusion of nature and artisanship. Crafted from a unique blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, this opulent wine is the result of meticulous hand-picking, state-of-the-art optical sorting, and 18 months of aging in oak barrels. Revel in the elevated elegance, richness, and lasting impression that only Ornellaia can deliver.
Ornellaia adorns your glass with a deep ruby red hue. The first sniff transports you to an aromatic paradise of ripe red fruits, intertwined with nuanced vanilla and a whisper of tobacco. Upon tasting, experience a velvety texture and well-rounded flavor that beckon for a second sip. The tannins are impeccably dense yet elegant, culminating in a savory, enduring finish
Antonio Galloni: 96 Points
The 2020 Ornellaia is a gorgeous, elegant wine. Seamless and wonderfully deep on the palate, the 2020 is super-refined from the outset. Even with all of its depth, the 2020 retains terrific freshness and cut to play off its soft, succulent fruit.
Decanter: 96 Points
Estate director Axel Heinz called 2020 ‘a classic Ornellaia,’ and picked the theme of ‘La Proporzione‘ (proportion) to describe its character. Indeed, the blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot marks a return to a more typical blend following the pendulum swings of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon in 2019, and 51% Merlot in 2018. Fine-grained and beautifully textured, its finely integrated tannins support a concentration of black fruits lightened by red berries. Aromas of black cherry, liquorice, dark chocolate, cedar and damp earth make for a fragrant wine, accompanied by menthol and balsamic streaks which run through the wine and impart plenty of freshness. It finishes with a stony and salty element along with some chocolatey and woody hints. Tight and moreish, its ripeness of fruit combined with freshness and structure adeptly tells the story of this earlier-ripening vintage. It lacks complexity in the mouth – this will come with time – but the array of aromas gives a hint of what is to come.
