Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2012

From the historic Ornellaia winery, an icon of Italian wine and one of the most prestigious in the Bolgheri appellation, this 2012 Ornellaia is an extraordinary expression of elegance, depth, and longevity. The winery, renowned worldwide for its Bordeaux-style blends and meticulous attention to detail, has masterfully interpreted an exceptional vintage, producing wines of great harmony. This vintage's artistic theme is "L'Incanto," emphasizing its enchanting beauty and captivating character.

Produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, the wine has been aged for 18 months in barrique and 12 months in bottle. After more than a decade, it presents a complex and layered bouquet that has given way to tertiary notes of ripe red fruit, leather, tobacco, graphite, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with dense yet silky tannins and a pleasant freshness that guarantees a long evolution over time. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and depth. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
