Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore 2023 — red

Taste and character

Ornellaia 2023 "La Vitalità" is the flagship of the legendary Ornellaia, located on the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri. This iconic Super Tuscan, composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot, is regarded as one of Italy's greatest references. The wine reflects the unique combination of Mediterranean influences, ancient soils and the refined vision of the estate. The result is a red wine that impressively unites power, elegance and complexity. In the glass, Ornellaia presents itself with a deep, vivid ruby-red colour. The nose is rich and layered, with aromas of crushed blackberries, plums, blueberries and cassis, supported by refined notes of spices, leather, sweet tobacco, roasted almonds and cocoa. As the wine opens up, subtle Mediterranean herbs appear, adding extra depth to the bouquet. On the palate, this Super Tuscan shows itself to be ample and generous, yet at the same time surprisingly light-footed and refined. Dark fruit, elegantly interwoven oak notes and perfectly integrated tannins provide a full yet harmonious taste experience. Power and concentration go hand in hand with finesse, freshness and an exceptionally long finish. The grapes are harvested by hand and strictly selected, after which each grape variety and each plot is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation mainly in oak barrels. The wine then matures for about 18 months in barriques, 70% of which are new oak. After blending, there is additional ageing in barrel and further bottle ageing before release. This meticulous approach gives Ornellaia its characteristic complexity, texture and ageing potential. Serve at 16 to 18°C with grilled beef, lamb, game dishes, truffle preparations, rich stews or aged hard cheeses. The combination of depth, elegance and structure makes this wine an ideal table companion for refined gastronomy. Ornellaia 2023 is aimed at lovers of great Italian wines and collectors looking for one of the most iconic expressions of Bolgheri. Although the wine already shows an impressive amount of charm today, it has the potential to develop further in the cellar over several decades.
