Merchant's description

Often regarded as Italy’s most ambitious white wine, this is an elegant blend of Sauvignon Blanc and some Viognier, from just three small vineyards on the estate. With limited production and true attention to detail, the wine fully expresses the unique character and terroir of Ornellaia. Aromas of exotic fruits are complemented by hints of finely roasted vanilla. On the palate, it is unapologetically dense, with considerable weight and prolonged aftertaste. Definitely a special occasion wine.
