Ornellaia, Bolgheri Rosso, DOC, 2018

Grape Blend: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 51% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

“With its usual deep ruby-red colour, Ornellaia 2018 features a lively and intense aromatic expression, a distinctive mark of the vintage. Red fruits, citrus notes, hints of liquorice and Mediterranean scrub combine to form its profile. With the first taste it is enveloping and all its components well-balanced: the tannins, both dense and silky in texture, fill the palate with elegance and precision. The finish is lifted by a distinct tangy vein that enhances the sensation of freshness and persistence.”
