Description
This has huge depth on the nose, with notes of fragrant black fruit, coffee, oak and spice. Rich and powerful on the palate, Ornellaia is in many ways the antithesis of its neighbour, Sassicaia: this is all about power. The warm 2017 vintage has been fully embraced in this wine and used to its best advantage. The result is full-bodied with a long finish and enough ripe tannin to ensure a long life ahead. Very impressive. Drink 2025-2045.

About this wine
Ornellaia
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is located in one of the world’s most exciting wine regions: Bolgheri. A breathtaking avenue lined by towering cypress trees leads inland from the Aurelia, the old Roman coastal road, up to the walls of Bolgheri’s medieval hamlet. From the village the view extends far out to sea and on a clear day the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and Corsica can be seen. The mild maritime climate and the lush Mediterranean vegetation leave an imprint upon the character of the wines. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia's unique territory guides all aspects of production: limited quantities to ensure maximum quality, attention to every detail, selective hand harvesting, microvinification and ageing.
