1990 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 750ml Bottle

Bolgheri Superiore 750ml

Bottle size

Alluring and beautifully intense, 2005 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore is a decadent Tuscan wine from one of Italy’s most acclaimed wineries. Derived from a marriage of 4 select varietals, namely; 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot – this highly-prized wine offers aromatic notes of dark blackberries, plums, and smoked tobacco paired with a palate of spice, herbs, and exotic island fruits. With a skin maceration period of 10-15 days during fermentation, 2005 Ornellaia Bolgheri is aged for 18 months in 70% new/30 refill oak barrels housed in Ornellaia’s temperature-controlled cellars. After the first 12 months, the wine is assembled and then re-barreled for a final 6 months of maturation. Once bottled, it is left to rest for an additional 12 months before being released. Full-bodied with an extremely long, fruit-forward finish, 2005 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore is an authentic super-Tuscan wine offering a tasting experience you won’t want to miss out on!…

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.
