Territory and wine style

The denomination Bolgheri DOC Superiore Rosso tells of a wine deeply connected to the Tuscan coast and its microclimate, where the proximity of the sea helps to provide balance, freshness, and gustatory tension. Ornellaia 2022 is born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, varieties that harmoniously interpret the richness of the territory. The 2022 vintage required attention in the vineyard but favored grapes capable of offering concentration, aromatic maturity, and tannic definition.

Tasting notes
