  • Founded in 1981 on the Tuscan coast at Bolgheri, Ornellaia quickly became an icon of the Super Tuscan movement. Its maritime vineyards, cooled by sea breezes and rooted in alluvial and marine soils, bring both ripeness and elegance to Bordeaux varieties. The 2021 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot is powerful yet poised. Aromas of blackberry, cassis and plum are layered with Mediterranean herbs, graphite and subtle spice. Full-bodied and richly textured, the palate balances generous fruit with refined tannins and a savoury mineral edge. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, confirming its cellar-worthy status. While approachable young, it will evolve over two decades.

  • "The 2021 Ornellaia captures all the magic of this sensational vintage on the Tuscan Coast. Rich, ample and expansive, with tremendous polish, the 2021 is pure class. Dark-toned fruit, mocha, espresso, licorice, plum and dried herbs abound. The tannins are present but also beautifully integrated, as is the French oak. There was a time not too long ago when young wines here needed years in bottle to drink well. That's not at all the case with the 2021. The blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot works so well. New oak was 70%." 99 points Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
