Ornellaia La Vitalità Vendemmia d'Artista 2023 Bolgheri Superiore

A 2023 Bolgheri Superiore from Ornellaia, made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are hand harvested with careful selection, fermented in steel tanks with 10-15 days of maceration, then aged in barriques, 70% new, for about 18 months. It is deep ruby red, with intense, fine red fruit, elegant spice, mushroom and bark notes. The palate is balanced, broad and round, with velvety tannins and an alcoholic structure suggesting good ageing capacity, with a long fruity and spicy finish. It is suggested with game or red meat, refined risottos and important cheeses.
