Bolgheri Superiore 750ml

Bottle size

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore 2012 achieves a level of classic tone and idyllic dryness with a pronounced nod to its Bordeaux blending style. Composed of a marriage of Tuscan varietals – 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot – this supreme offering from one of Italy’s most celebrated wineries has a contact maceration period of 10-15 days and is aged in 70% new/30% refill oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months. Assembled 12 months into its maturation, the wine is then re-barreled and allowed another 6 months of finishing. Once bottled, this darkly-hued masterpiece is rested for another 12 months before being released. Aromatic bouquets of sun-baked straw, cherries, and leather tease the nose and are paired with a palate of rich fruits, tobacco, and wood. Produced in a mere 160,000 bottles worldwide - 2012 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Tuscan wine offers a legacy of quality and exceptional quaffability befitting only the most discerning of wine collectors.…

About the brand

OOrnellaia Winery was established in 1981, in the region of Bolgheir, Toscana, Italy. Long considered one of Italy's leaders in producing premium Bordeaux-style red wines, the estate was originally owned and operated by the Antinori family - with the help of legendary winemaker Tibo Gal. The brand released its first vintage in 1985 and grew in popularity throughout Italy and internationally. Catching the attention of the prestigious Robert Mondavi Winery, Ornellaia came under the ownership of Mondavi in 2002, with an interest controlled by the Frescobaldi family. Frescobaldi soon took control of the entire estate in 2005 and recruited the expertise of wine master Axel Heinz and oenologist Michel Rolland. Building on this extraordinary foundation, Ornellaia Winery offers several award-winning varietals, including its signature Orenllaia Bolgheri Superiore Rosso, the Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia Rosso, and bottlings of both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
