Bolgheri Superiore 750ml

Bottle size

Rewarding the palate with hues of iconic depth and woven complexity, this 2016 vintage bottling of Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Tuscany red wine personifies the mastery of this famed Italian winery. Curated at the hands of winemaker Olga Fusari, this pristine quaff is derived from a selection of superior grape varietals, specifically; 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. With a maceration period of 10-15 days, 2016 Ornellaia Bolgheri is aged for a minimum of 20 months in 70% new/30% refill oak barrels. After the first 12 months in barrel, the wine undergoes assembling and is then re-barreled for another 8 months. To finalize its maturation process and enshrine its world-class flavor, this highly-acclaimed super-Tuscan red is then bottled and rested for another 12 months before being released. The nose enjoys heavy-laden aromatics of ripe bush fruits, dark cloves, and spice over a palate of coffee, licorice candies, and bitter baker's chocolate.…

About the brand

OOrnellaia Winery was established in 1981, in the region of Bolgheir, Toscana, Italy. Long considered one of Italy's leaders in producing premium Bordeaux-style red wines, the estate was originally owned and operated by the Antinori family - with the help of legendary winemaker Tibo Gal. The brand released its first vintage in 1985 and grew in popularity throughout Italy and internationally. Catching the attention of the prestigious Robert Mondavi Winery, Ornellaia came under the ownership of Mondavi in 2002, with an interest controlled by the Frescobaldi family. Frescobaldi soon took control of the entire estate in 2005 and recruited the expertise of wine master Axel Heinz and oenologist Michel Rolland. Building on this extraordinary foundation, Ornellaia Winery offers several award-winning varietals, including its signature Orenllaia Bolgheri Superiore Rosso, the Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia Rosso, and bottlings of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
