Bolgheri Rosso Superiore Ornellaia is a dry red wine produced by Ornellaia, belonging to the Bolgheri DOC. The grapes reach full maturity thanks to the maritime climate. Each parcel from which the grapes that will then be given in this wine come is vinified and aged in barrique separately, so that they can express the multitude of variables present in the cru from which they come. Subsequently, the blend of Ornellaia was created, a blend of four international grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, an expression of a balance between the particularities of the vintage and the elegance typical of this wine. With its usual intense ruby red color, Ornellaia is characterized to the nose by aromas of ripe red fruits and delicate notes of vanilla and sweet tobacco. The taste is soft and velvety, with a pleasant and enveloping entrance in the mouth, which invites the second sip. The tannic texture is dense and at the same time elegant and the finish is savory and of beautiful persistence. The finish is persistent with mineral references and fruity pleasure. Wine for great occasions, it goes well with red meat dishes and main products, such as black truffle. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 16/18 ºC.
