2013 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore
£209.00
“Ornellaia 2013 issues from a very ‘Bolgherian’ vintage. Tempering sea breezes aided long hang times, vital given the sluggish budburst. The reduced crop was a blessing, as remaining grapes could eek out those marginal gains in flavour and aroma expression, and above all elegance. A beautifully compact Ornellaia with a very clear, moreish fruit expression above a nuanced – if yet to be fully pliant – tannic frame. That resolving inner tension and crisp insistence makes this lightly saline red as bracing and fresh as if it were bottled yesterday. 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot.”

Product Description
Ornellaia, the Estate of the legendary Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated Super Tuscan wine, lies near Bolgheri, on the Mediterranean coast. An integrated and seamless blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
“The slow yet full ripening bestowed a fascinating aromatic quality on Ornellaia 2013. The complex vibrant fruitiness is framed by a taut and dense body with tannins that achieve rare equilibrium.” Axel Heinz – Estate Director – May 2015
