The wine
Description and technical sheet
The 6-litre Mathusalem takes Ornellaia 2023 into the realm of collectible large formats. It is the same Bolgheri DOC Superiore that interprets the 2023 vintage through balance, concentration and energy, here presented in an imposing bottle with particular appeal for enthusiasts and collectors.
The character of the 2023 vintage
A mild winter and rainy spring were followed by a warm summer without extreme heat peaks. Rainfall helped limit water stress, while late-August rain and cool September nights encouraged gradual ripening and preserved acidity and aromatic complexity. The resulting profile combines richness, momentum and precision.
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 variety and vineyard parcel was vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and concrete at 26–30 °C for around one week, followed by about 15 days of maceration.
Malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barriques, 70% new and 30% second-use. The wine aged for around 18 months in barriques: after the first 12 months the final blend was assembled, followed by another 6 months in wood. A further 12 months of bottle ageing precedes release.
Tasting profile
The colour is deep, vivid ruby red. Ripe blueberry, blackberry and other black-fruit aromas are joined by toasted almond, cocoa and Mediterranean scrub notes. The palate is broad and concentrated yet plush, precise and energetic, with silky, chiselled tannins and a very long, persistent finish.
Why we recommend it
The 6-litre Mathusalem heightens the collectible character of one of Bolgheri's landmark wines. The large format adds presence and rarity to a wine already built for long evolution, while keeping the identity of the 2023 vintage and the estate's Mediterranean character at the centre.
