Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is justifiably considered one of the most iconic wineries in Italy and has consistently shown it can produce remarkably high quality even in tough vintages. 2017 was a notable year for its extreme temperatures and other producers suffered with balance and freshness. There is no such trouble for this illustrious wine with its incredible concentration of fruit and immense savoury complexity yet effortless acidity and superbly controlled tannins. An excellent, ageworthy release composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc.
