The 2022 Ornellaia in 1.5L magnum format is a bold yet remarkably composed expression of Bolgheri’s maritime terroir in a warm, sun-filled vintage. The blend—typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—is vinified separately and aged for 18 months in French oak (70% new), then further refined in bottle. The 2022 vintage yielded a wine with intense aromatics of ripe blackcurrant, plum, Mediterranean herbs, dark chocolate, and graphite, accented by floral and spicy undertones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, yet remarkably balanced, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, harmonious finish. The magnum format offers a slower, more graceful aging curve, allowing greater aromatic development and integration over time. While the 2022 Ornellaia is approachable in its youth thanks to its ripe fruit and texture, it has the structure to age for two decades or more—especially in large format. Ideal for collectors

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia makes outstanding wines even in poor vintages - better than any other. In the capable hands of winemaker Thomas Duroux and consultant Michel Rolland, the estate continues its long-standing, stellar record of world-class wine production. Even the estate's "second" wines demonstrate high quality grape growing and flawless production methods. Located in Tuscany's tiny coastal DOC of Bolgheri, the estate was one of the first to plant vines in the area. With producers like Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia, Antinori, Grattamacco, and Le Macchiole among others, Bolgheri is the hotbed of winemaking momentum in Toscana. With the same name as the winery, a reference to the grove of flowering ash trees surrounding it, Ornellaia is the estate's principal wine. The 63 acres of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small plantings of Cabernet Franc vines, lie on elevated parcels composed of clay, gravel, and loam soils. The clones of diverse origins yield a rich palett
