Situated in the Bolgheri appellation along the Tuscan coast, Ornellaia stands as one of the leading producers renowned for crafting Italy`s illustrious wine bearing the same name. This Bordeaux-style blend is counted among the original ‘Super Tuscans’, combining Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, alongside lesser proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, eschewing Tuscany`s more traditional Sangiovese. The 1992 vintage is delicately perfumed with notes of orange zest, a touch of strawberries, and tobacco spice. It unfolds on the palate with a juicy, red-berry-filled profile, displaying a fresh structure and an ethereal quality.
