Description
- Country: Italy
- Region: Toscana
- Vinification: The grapes for the Ornellaia are harvested by hand in 15 kg crates. They are also selected before and after destemming on the double sorting table and then lightly crushed. Each grape variety and each vineyard parcel are vinified separately. The two-week alcoholic fermentation in steel and concrete tanks at temperatures of 26 to 30°C is followed by a maceration period of 15 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place mainly in oak barriques (70% new and 30% second passage). The wine matures for around 18 months in barriques in the winery's temperature-controlled cellars. After the first 12 months, the wines are blended into a cuvée and returned to barriques for a further eight months. The release for the market took place after twelve months of bottle ageing.
- Culinary recommendation: Wonderful accompaniment to stews of all kinds - whether lamb gigot, beef shoulder, roast pork or ossobuco.
- Aroma & flavor: The Ornellaia 2021 is an expression of a typical Bolgheri vintage, in which there was no lack of sunny periods without rainfall, resulting in rich and concentrated, but at the same time very expressive and multi-faceted wines. On the nose, typical scents of Mediterranean scrub, aromatic herbs, cypress berries and the classic aromas of blackcurrants and dark fruits, accompanied on the palate by a dense tannic texture that envelops it with precision and finesse. The finish is persistent and vibrant, leaving a feeling of aromatic freshness and elegance.
