Bolgheri Superiore DOC Ornellaia 2023 - Ornellaia

A red wine from Tuscany made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand, fermented in steel vats with maceration for ten to fifteen days, then aged in barriques, seventy per cent new, for about eighteen months. The blend is assembled after the first twelve months, followed by a further twelve months in bottle. It is deep ruby red, with intense aromas of red-fleshed fruit, elegant spice, mushroom and bark. The palate is balanced, broad and round, with velvety tannins and a long, mineral finish.
