Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri DOC Superiore
Black fruit leads with blackberry and black cherry, layered with vanilla, tobacco and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is expansive and generous, supported by powerful yet finely integrated tannins. Cedar, dark cocoa and a mineral edge add definition through the middle, while fresh acidity keeps the concentrated fruit composed. Savoury and vibrant on the finish, it carries its richness with clarity and enduring length.
