Wine Notes

Ornellaia is the youngest of the trio and, like it’s close neighbour Sassicaia, contains no Sangiovese. Instead it is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The estate, founded by Ludovico Antinori, has had a wealth of wine making experience behind it since its inception in 1985 and the consistent quality has cemented its reputation as one of the greats in the area. The 2015 vintage reveals the heat and intensity of that summer with concentration that brings a wealth of flavours to the glass. But the freshness and acidity have not been lost, ensuring that the necessary balance remains.

Producer Notes

Founded in the mid-1980’s, Tenuta Dell’ Ornellaia, started by producing a Bordeaux blend that focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with occasional additions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vineyard that produces Ornellaia borders that of its famous Super Tuscan neighbour, Sassicaia in the Maremma district on the coast of Tuscany. The combination of the maritime climate and the Bordeaux grapes make this a fairly major wine and one that should be given at least 10-15 years of bottle age depending on the vintage.
Tenutta Dell’ Ornellaia also produce a second wine from the Ornellaia grapes called Le Serre Nuove, as well as Le Volte a Sangiovese blend. They also own the highly regarded Masseto vineyard.
