Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2001 750mL

Ornellaia is a blend of nature and musing. Complex ancient soils converse through human wisdom with a delicate microclimate that is echoed and reflected in the Mediterranean Sea. Prolonged ageing accompanies the estate’s fine wine in achieving its utmost expression, revealing finesse and generosity over time.

The desire to nurture the Estate’s exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia’s philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature. 

Grape Varietals:

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc 

Winemaker's Notes:

“The ripe red and black fruit and the balance between the personalities of the grapes define a prestigious wine with a long finish and timeless elegance.” - Axel Heinz 

98 Points - Falstaff, July 2015. "Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, broader water edge. Attractive heart cherry fruit, DELICATE tangerine zest, floral touch, DELICATE mint, very closed at the moment. Juicy, highly elegant, fine extract sweetness, silky but firm tannins, DELICATE hints of chocolate and nougat, seems light on its feet, has immense length, yet this great wine should be given some more time to fully appreciate. Lock away!!!"
