Bolgheri Superiore DOC

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore: The Soul of the Tuscan Coast

Imagine yourself in the heart of the Maremma, where the sea breeze meets the land. This is where this wine takes root, a deep and meditative expression of the Bolgheri terroir, an invitation to discover the noblest flavors of Tuscany.

The Legendary Terroir of Ornellaia

The Ornellaia estate, nestled in the Bolgheri region on the Costa Toscana, is an emblematic figure of winemaking excellence. This wine is the fruit of a meticulous blend of Bordeaux grape varieties: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Each grape variety brings its own nuance, creating a symphony of flavors that reflects the richness of this unique terroir.

When it reveals itself in the glass, this Bolgheri Superiore displays a beautifully concentrated color. On the nose, you will be enveloped by aromas of ripe red fruits, enhanced by notes of sweet tobacco and vanilla, a complexity that invites contemplation. On the palate, you will discover an explosive and fresh balance, a substantial structure that testifies to its depth. Fermentation in steel tanks and prolonged maceration, followed by 18 to 24 months of aging, shape this wine with almost scientific precision, aiming for absolute perfection.

Food Pairings and Tasting Moments

To accompany this exceptional wine, I suggest you turn to dishes that will honor its richness. Red meats and game will be ideal partners, their intense flavors answering the power of this Bolgheri Superiore. Aged cheeses, with their pronounced character, will also create a memorable pairing. This is a wine that demands time, a meditative tasting, perhaps during a special evening, to fully appreciate every nuance it has to offer. Let yourself be carried away by this sensory experience, a true tribute to the Tuscan art of living.
