Ornellaia Collection (6 bottles) – 2010 – 2011 – 2012 – Bolgheri DOC Superiore
Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore, the producer’s representative wine, is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Made for the first time in 1985, it comes from a 97ha domain that enjoys the perfect climate of the Bolgheri hills, with exposure to the sea.
The vines are tended by hand throughout the year. When they are ripe (at full maturity), the grapes from each plot are picked by hand, in boxes of a maximum of 15 kg. The bunches then pass through a double sorting table where any imperfect grapes are removed by hand, ensuring that only perfectly ripe grapes end up being vinified and ripened. The resulting Ornellaia wine is released on the market after 3 years.
Ornellaia 1998 was declared “Wine of the Year” by the American magazine Wine Spectator.
Ornellaia 2010 marks the producer’s 25th anniversary. A special logo made of gold and ivory ennobles the bottles.
