Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC - Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia

The Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC 2023 from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia presents itself in the glass in a deep, radiant ruby red. Already on the nose, this great Bolgheri red wine unfolds an impressive depth: ripe blueberries, blackberries and dark forest fruits combine with fine notes of roasted almonds, cocoa and Mediterranean herbs. With increasing aeration, the bouquet gains further in complexity and reveals the elegant, powerful signature of the 2023 vintage.

On the palate, Ornellaia 2023 is generous, full-bodied and concentrated, yet remains remarkably smooth, finely textured and precise. The dark fruit is carried by silky, clearly structured tannins, while a freshness lends the wine energy, tension and balance. Despite its richness, this Supertuscan never seems heavy, but instead combines power, finesse and harmony into a long, expressive finish.

Production of Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC 2023

The grapes for Ornellaia come from selected vineyards of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia near Castagneto Carducci. Each plot is harvested, vinified and matured separately in order to work out precisely the individual characteristics of location, grape variety and soil. This careful selection forms the basis for the depth, structure and balance that have made Ornellaia one of the most important wines in Italy worldwide.

After gentle processing of the grapes, fermentation takes place under controlled conditions. The long maturation gives the wine additional finesse, harmonizes the tannins and allows fruit, spice and structure to merge into a multi-layered whole. In this way, a Bolgheri Rosso Superiore is created that is impressive even in its youth, while at the same time offering excellent aging potential.
