Region: Tuscany
Grape Varietal: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot
Tasting Notes:
It is worth noting that Merlot remains present at nearly the same
percentage as previous years, despite the greater challenges faced by early-ripening varieties in this mildew-prone vintage.
Careful fruit selection made the difference. The wine shows impressive richness and concentration with a bouquet that leans botanical and complex, marked by dark fruit, Mediterranean thyme and rosemary.
The nose was slightly closed when I tasted the wine, but it will open. The texture is velvety and polished, delivering beautiful richness with a sense of succulence that feels expansive on the palate.
According to proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi, the goal is to establish a clear through line focused on freshness and balancing fruit and spice while avoiding excess ripeness.
This is a meticulously made Ornellaia that captures the vintage with remarkable elegance.
