Merchant's description

Ornellaia 2001 is a cuvée of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. The faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature. Fragrances of well-ripened dark and red berry fruit, together with judiciously-balanced silky tannins, marry together with the other components of Ornellaia’s structure to create a wine with superb body and a long finish. Offered here in magnificent large format.
