Description and technical sheet

The Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2016 di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is obtained from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot (27%), Cabernet Franc (18%), and Petit Verdot (4%). These are the grapes of the great wines of Bordeaux, capable of expressing excellence even in that short and magical stretch of Tuscan coast represented by the area of Bolgheri. The Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2016 di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia extrapolated from Tenuta Ornellaia has rested for 20 months in oak barrels, 70% new and 30% second passage. The blending of the single-variety wines took place after 12 months of refinement. Before being commercialized, it aged for an additional 12 months in the bottle. We are faced with a small masterpiece of world oenology, ready to take its place in the "dream cellar" of every wine enthusiast.

ORNELLAIA BOLGHERI SUPERIORE TENUTA DELL'ORNELLAIA: TASTING

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2016 di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia seduces the eye with its deep ruby red color. To the nose, it expresses aromas of ripe wild berries that blend with hints of dark spices and delicate citrus notes of cedar. The taste is soft and dense, enhanced by a very fine tannic texture and a vibrant fresh-savory trail that lingers in the long and exciting spicy finish. It pairs well with cold cuts, aged cheeses, as well as succulent earthy recipes based on red meats or game.
