When they founded Ornellaia in 1981, they already had nearly a century of experience working with these grapes in the region. This experience has allowed them to very quickly take their place as one of the finest and most sought-after ‘Super Tuscan’ wines alongside the likes of Sassicaia and Tignanello. Made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the wine was aged in 70% new oak for 18 months, then aged 12 months more in bottle before release. The 2020 vintage is a wine of remarkable depth and character. The nose is generous and opulent with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cedar, dark chocolate, vanilla, herbs, mint, and tobacco. The transition to the palate is seamless, with rounded expressions of plum, cedar, damp earth, anise, and licorice joining the party, backed by soft and velvety tannins. The finish is long, with a minerally saline element providing freshness and balance. Delicious now with some air, but made for the long haul with an estimated drinking window until 2046. \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-13T17:41:45-05:00","created_at":"2023-07-13T13:13:57-05:00","vendor":"Sunfish Cellars Wine \u0026 Spirits","type":"Wine","tags":["90pt","Country_Italy","Region_Tuscany","Size_750ml","Subregion_Bolgheri","Varietal_Red Blend","Vintage_2020","Wine"],"price":26999,"price_min":26999,"price_max":26999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":30999,"compare_at_price_min":30999,"compare_at_price_max":30999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40832655327275,"title":"Tuscany \/ Red Blend \/ 2020","option1":"Tuscany","option2":"Red Blend","option3":"2020","sku":"818201021720","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2020 - Tuscany \/ Red Blend \/ 2020","public_title":"Tuscany \/ Red Blend \/ 2020","options":["Tuscany","Red Blend","2020"],"price":26999,"weight":1814,"compare_at_price":30999,"inventory_quantity":18,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"818201021720","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/OrnellaiaBolgheriSuperiore2020.jpg?v=1689626453"],"featured_image":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/OrnellaiaBolgheriSuperiore2020.jpg?v=1689626453","options":["Region","Varietal","Vintage"],"media":[{"alt":"Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2020","id":23656218984491,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.663,"height":1358,"width":900,"src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/OrnellaiaBolgheriSuperiore2020.jpg?v=1689626453"},"aspect_ratio":0.663,"height":1358,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/OrnellaiaBolgheriSuperiore2020.jpg?v=1689626453","width":900}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuscany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSub-Region:\u003c\/b\u003e Bolgheri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Ornellaia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Blend\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a winemaking history dating back more than 700 years, the Frescobaldi Family were among the first vintners to bring French grape varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to Tuscany around 1855, understanding that the Mediterranean climate of Tuscany could allow for full ripening of these sometimes-fickle grapes, allowing them to express their full potential.
