Experience the acclaimed elegance of Ornellaia 2013 Bolgheri Superiore, a masterful Tuscan red born from Bolgheri’s distinctive coastal terroir. This collector’s gem artfully blends Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Merlot (38%), Cabernet Franc (10%), and Petit Verdot (7%), capturing the essence of a cooler vintage that yielded exceptional balance and aromatic complexity.
Uncork layers of graphite-kissed violets, ripe blackberries, and cassis intertwined with sophisticated hints of tobacco leaf, white truffle, and exotic spice. The palate reveals Ornellaia’s signature precision: concentrated dark fruit glides over ultra-silky tannins toward a remarkably sustained finish marked by refreshing vibrancy and subtle licorice undertones. While beautifully approachable now, its structured elegance promises superb evolution—reward patient collectors with decades of graceful development.
