About the wine
The Ornellaia embodies pure elegance and complexity. With its perfect balance of ripe berries, fine spicy notes and silky tannins, it is one of the great Supertuscans classics. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot is an expression of the highest level of winemaking and offers a long, harmonious finish. A wine for special occasions and collectors — simply timeless.

Tasting note
Ornellaia 2022 presents itself with a very expressive bouquet with aromas of dark fruits and nuances of vanilla and tobacco. This complexity is found on the palate again, where the wine is mixed with a broad and decisive Expresses prelude. That's when the strong tannin structure shows itself and guides us to a spicy and long finale. As always, the Ornellaia impresses with elegance and freshness, its main characteristics.
Culinary recommendation
Particularly suitable for veal. For example, a juicy chop of sage butter.
Vinification
After manual harvesting in 15 kg boxes, the grapes were selected on double sorting tables both before and after draining and then gently pressed. In addition to manual sorting, optical grape sorting was also introduced in 2016 to further improve the quality of selection. Each grape variety and vineyard plot was vinified separately. First, alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in cement vats at temperatures below 25°C, and then mashing took place for a total of around 10-15 days, so that the total time in these containers was around three weeks. The malolactic fermentation was carried out mainly in oak barrels (70% new barrels and 30% secondary use). The wine remained in the barriques, which are stored in the temperature-controlled Ornellaia wine cellar, for a period of approximately 18 months. After the first twelve months, the grape varieties were blended and then refilled into the barriques, where the cuvée remained for a further six months. After bottling, the wine remains in the bottle for a further twelve months before being launched on the market.
