The wine

Description and technical sheet

The 1.5-litre Magnum presents Ornellaia 2023 in a format especially suited to important occasions and fine-wine collections. The vintage, interpreted by the estate through the theme “La Vitalità”, combines concentration, energy and precision in a Bolgheri DOC Superiore shaped by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The character of the 2023 vintage

A mild winter and a rainy spring were followed by a warm summer without extreme heat peaks. Rainfall helped limit water stress, while late-August rains and cool September nights encouraged gradual ripening and preserved acidity and aromatic complexity. The resulting wine brings richness and drive together without sacrificing finesse.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes were harvested by hand in 15 kg crates and underwent double selection, before and after destemming, followed by gentle crushing. Each grape variety and vineyard parcel was vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and concrete at 26–30 °C for about one week, followed by around 15 days of maceration.

Malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barriques, 70% new and 30% second-use. The wine aged for about 18 months in barriques: the final blend was assembled after the first 12 months, followed by a further 6 months in wood. Another 12 months of bottle ageing precede release.

Tasting profile

The colour is deep, vibrant and bright ruby red. The nose shows blueberry, blackberry and other ripe black fruits, joined by toasted almond, cocoa and Mediterranean scrub notes. The palate is generous and concentrated yet velvety and precise; its powerful structure retains balance, with silky, chiselled tannins leading into a very long finish.

Why we recommend it

Ornellaia is the estate's flagship fine wine and one of Bolgheri's benchmark expressions. In Magnum format, the 2023 vintage combines the identity of the wine with the appeal of a large bottle suited to important service occasions and a carefully selected cellar.
