Tasting Notes for 2022 Tenuta dell’Ornellaia Ornellaia

The wine opens with commanding aromas of ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cedarwood, and sweet tobacco. Furthermore, complex accents of Mediterranean scrub, graphite, and exotic spices develop in the glass. On the palate, cashmere-like tannins support a rich, concentrated core of dark bramble berries. Consequently, the finish lingers with noble length, refreshing acidity, and polished Tuscan poise.

Estate History and Heritage

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, quickly establishing itself as a global icon of Italian winemaking. Specifically, legendary enologists like André Tchelistcheff and Michel Rolland helped shape its luxurious, Bordeaux-inspired character. Moreover, the estate commissions renowned international artists each vintage for its Vendemmia d’Artista project.

Today, under the Frescobaldi family, Ornellaia continues to set the standard for Bolgheri royalty. As a result, this 2022 vintage stands as an essential pillar for any serious wine collection.
