Ornellaia 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Deep, scented fruit rolls out in layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry and blueberry, laced with floral lift and subtle spice, all wrapped in a silken but insistent structure. Ornellaia Ornellaia 2018 leans into its unusually high Merlot content, giving a creamy, almost chocolatey core to the mid-palate, while Cabernet brings freshness, detail and a long, composed finish that promises decades of graceful evolution.

About Ornellaia

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.
