Bolgheri DOC Superiore – Ornellaia 2018

A Precision Bordeaux Blend

Ornellaia is a Bordeaux blend composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The blending of these grape varieties, expertly orchestrated by the winemaker, creates a wine of great balance, structure and longevity. The 2018 vintage allowed each grape variety to best express its characteristics, contributing to the overall harmony of the wine.

Ornellaia’s Bolgheri DOC Superiore 2018 shows an intense ruby red color and garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and currants, enriched with notes of spices, black pepper, tobacco and leather. Emergences of eucalyptus and subtle mineral nuances complete the olfactory profile. On the palate, the wine is structured and powerful, with elegant and well-integrated tannins. The lively acidity gives freshness and balances the richness of the wine, creating a harmonious balance. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and a slight minerality. Aged in French oak barrels for about 18-24 months and further in the bottle, the 2018 Bolgheri DOC Superiore has considerable aging potential and can continue to develop and improve with time. It goes perfectly with rich and complex dishes, such as roasts, game and aged cheeses.
