Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Ornellaia 2018
- Country Italy
- Grape Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot
- Case size 6 / 75cl
- The wine appears an intense, youthful ruby red. The nose offers rich fruit that is fully ripe yet at the same time crisp and lively, backgrounded by delicate nuances of balsam and toastiness. On the palate, the powerful concentration immediately impresses, as do the tannins, massive yet silk-smooth and glossy, which allow the wine to fill the mouth but with no feeling of heaviness. The finish is nearly endless and deliciously pungent and spicy, with a welcome crispness throughout.”
The desire to nurture the Estate's exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia's philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature. The clusters were hand-picked into 15-kg boxes and then selected by hand on a double sorting table, before and after destemming, and finally softly crushed. Each grape variety and single vineyard block was vinified separately. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 26-30°C for two weeks, followed by 10-15 days of maceration on the skins.

| Winery | The malolactic fermentation occurred mainly in oak barrels, 70% new and 30% once-used. The wine then remained in barriques, in Ornellaia temperature-controlled cellars for about 18 months. After the first 12 months of maturation, the wine was assembled and returned to the barriques for an additional 6 months. After bottling, the wine aged a further 12 months before release. |
