Ornellaia - Bolgheri Superiore

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot

Vintage: 2020
Description: The Ornellaia story is one of vision and determination. Established in 1981, Ornellaia immediately went on a quest for excellence. The soil at Ornellaia is marine, alluvial and volcanic in origin. The vineyards are separated into dozens of parcels: each is a microcosm with its own unique identity and expression. All around the vines, the Mediterranean bush and forest reigns supreme. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main varieties planted on the estate, followed by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, while Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Viognier, Verdicchio and Vermentino are the grapes used to make the white wines. The vineyards are mainly southwest facing to embrace the last ray of sunshine that sets over the sea. The malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barrels, 70% new and 30% used once. The wine then remained in barriques, in Ornellaia's temperature-controlled cellars
