The Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2018 is a distinguished Super Tuscan red wine known for its elegance and finesse rather than its power. Produced in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy, this particular vintage features the highest proportion of Merlot in Ornellaia’s history, resulting in a softer and more velvety texture. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

Expect a complex and intense bouquet with vibrant red fruit, blackcurrants, and blueberries. Hints of violets, licorice, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs add layers of complexity. Some critics also note subtle cedar, graphite, and mocha notes.

The 2021 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore is a powerful and elegant “Super Tuscan” red blend with immense aging potential. The vintage was designated “La Generosità” (Generosity) due to a near-perfect growing season that resulted in a rich and concentrated wine. Critics have given the 2021 vintage exceptionally high praise, with many noting its balance, structure, and intense fruit flavors.

Expect a complex and inviting bouquet of ripe black fruits, including blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, mingled with notes of Mediterranean herbs, cedar, tobacco, mocha, and savory spices.

It offers a generous display of crunchy, dark cherry that hints at the extra concentration and fruit weight obtained in the 2019 growing season. This vintage will be remembered for the crisp richness of the fruit and its important textural imprint. It also shows fine elegance, bordering on the ethereal, with berry aromas, tarry earth and brushes of balsam herb or grilled rosemary. Sassicaia always shows an almost-glossy finely knit quality to the polished mouthfeel, and I find it again here next to fresh acidity and firm tannins. Mouthfeel in 2019 is the wine’s strongest suit. The 2019 is one of the prettiest and most balanced editions of Sassicaia.
