Christopher Deas, Italian Wine Merchants: "IWM tasted this wine once again with winemaker Axel Heinz, and the Ornellaia team.  Once again in a line up that included some serious wines, it was this little bold white that captured our attention for the second time this year. It truly is one of those yin and yang wines that offers a touch of the exotic with refreshing acidity and vibrancy under the rich texture. We would add there is more texture and a little more roundness in the 2021 bottling. You can expect much of the flavor spectrum represented here, crushed citrus flowers, elderflower, fresh cut grass, white peach, lemon, lime, lemongrass, and herbs. It is a bold wine, bordering on the exotic, that is more in line with Bordeaux Blanc, than Sancerre, but very clean and fresh. It is a true Super Tuscan white wine that can stand up to northern Italy's richer pasta dishes, as well as pair with some seaside classics and good conversation with friends. With the Ornellaia touch,"

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
