2019 ORNELLAIA Bolgheri Superiore

Wine description Princely, refined and of immense elegance. Vinified with a blend of grapes composed of        34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit Verdot.

The harvest, as per the tradition of Tenuta Ornellaia, took place by hand in 15 kg boxes and the bunches were selected on a double sorting table before and after destemming and subjected to a soft crushing at the end. Each variety and parcel was vinified separately. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 26-30 ºC for a week followed by maceration for a total of about 10-15 days. The malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barrels (70% new and 30% second pass). The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at controlled temperature for a period of about 18 months. After the first 12 months it was assembled and then reintroduced in barriques where he spent another 6 months. The wine remains in the bottle for another 12 months before being placed on the market.

Characteristics of Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia wine At the organoleptic examination it has a deep ruby red color, of wonderful luster and luxury. The aroma persuades with intense and fine sensations of red fruit, with an elegant spiciness and mushroom and bark. The taste in the mouth is balanced, broad, round, with velvety tannins and an alcoholic structure that reveals a great aging capacity. A generous Ornellaia in this year, persistent and mineral, with a long finish played on fruity and spicy notes.

Rosé Imperial displays a pink color with amber highlights. Lively and intense, the bouquet exudes red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry) with floral nuances of rose and a slight hint of pepper. On the palate, the wine shows a juicy intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, red currant) rounded out by the fleshiness and firmness of peach and the freshness of a subtle note of mint.

Tasting Panel: Lovely pink hue; fresh, fragrant, and smooth with notes of strawberry and apple; elegant and long.

Wine Spectator: Delicate verbena and candied pink grapefruit zest accents lead to macerated blackberry, toasted nut and saline notes in this balanced and creamy rosé, with well-cut acidity.

Wine & Spirits: This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10 percent red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10 to 20 percent, including a portion of reserve wines that may be providing the oceanic, oyster-shell notes that bring to mind Champagne's Kimmeridgean limestone. This is broad and loose up front, with fruity scents of orange and pomegranate. Then the wine keeps buzzing with brisk acidity, tightening up and extending the flavors with energy. An impressive release of Imperial.

James Suckling: A complex and fresh nose with fresh berries, as well as berry pastry and biscuits. The palate has a fresh, crisp and lively feel with impressively upbeat berries. Drink now.

Decanter: Restrained red fruit nose. Long, rolling palate, fresh and crisp throughout, with abundant cranberry, sherbet lemon, green herb and ginger flavours.

A bright pale yellow color with green highlights, with a stream of many fine bubbles. Intense with notes of  tropical fruits and citrus. Creamy and smooth, very pleasant and well balanced.
