Depth and precision define Ornellaia 2016, a Bolgheri red that layers ripe blackcurrant and plum with dark spice, cocoa, and a touch of smoky coffee over a silken, densely woven structure. The palate is powerful yet impeccably poised, its ripe tannins and vibrant acidity giving great drive and length, suggesting a wine built as much for future nuance as for present-day pleasure. This is a standout, long-lived vintage that already shows remarkable polish and harmony.

Ornellaia is the flagship Bolgheri DOC Superiore red from Ornellaia, a benchmark “Super Tuscan” Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grown on the estate’s marine, alluvial, and volcanic soils near the Tuscan coast. Typically intensely colored and full-bodied with silky yet powerful tannins, it combines ripe black fruit, Mediterranean herbal and balsamic notes, and polished oak spice, crafted for both immediate allure and long-term cellar aging.
