About This Wine
The Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Superiore is a powerful and elegant expression of a classic Super Tuscan blend. Crafted in a vintage marked by warmer temperatures, the winemakers at Ornellaia masterfully leveraged blending to produce a wine of remarkable balance and depth.
The blend for the 2022 vintage is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and an uncommonly high 10% Petit Verdot. This increased proportion of Petit Verdot contributes a dark, savory character and a firm tannic structure that provides excellent aging potential.
On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberry and black currant, layered with notes of spice, tobacco, and subtle vanilla from oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with plush, well-integrated tannins and a vibrant freshness that keeps the wine from feeling heavy. Flavors of ripe plum, espresso, and minerality lead to a long, savory finish. This is a wine that is built to evolve and promises to be a rewarding experience for those with the patience to let it mature.
