Ornellaia 2023 is a Bolgheri Superiore blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, followed by a further 12 months in the bottle to ensure a complete integration of its components. This 2023 release is a classic expression of the estate’s aristocratically poised style, designed for long-term evolution. It offers a sophisticated bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar, wild herbs and a touch of balsamic. The palate is refined and medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a persistent, energetic finish that reflects the Mediterranean influence of the coast.
