2022 Ornus dell'Ornellaia, Tuscany, Italy

‘Fraxinus Ornus’ is the Latin name for Orniello. Ornellaia is named after this ancient Mediterranean plant and has also bestowed the epithet on this dessert wine. Ornus dell’Ornellaia is made from late-harvested grapes grown in a tiny vineyard. Time, experience and meditation.

Ornus dell’Ornellaia is inspired by our love for our land and a longing to explore every last element of its potential to produce the finest dessert wines, courtesy of the mild and breezy autumns in Bolgheri.

Ornus dell’Ornellaia 2022 vaunts a stylish golden colour and displays astonishingly complex aromas, such as acacia honey, peaches, quince jam and caramel. Creamy and opulent, the wine has the perfect balance of acidity and sugar with a savoury finish and distinctive freshness that continues to the end of the tasting experience.
