Bolgheri Superiore DOC Vendemmia d'Artista 2020 Ornellaia

Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes from the hilly area at the foot of Bolgheri.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel vats, partly in concrete vats at temperatures between 26 and 30 ° C for a week, followed by a maceration of about 15 days. The malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barriques (of which 70% new and 30% second passage). The wine finally ages in barriques for a period of about 18 months. After the first 12 months the assembly was carried out, then reintroduced into the barriques, where it spent another 6 months. The wine remains in the bottle for 12 months before being released.

Intense ruby red color, it expresses a rich and complex nose with ripe red fruits, notes of tobacco and vanilla. When tasted, great balance and elegance dominate, accompanied by a pleasant sensation of freshness and great persistence.

It perfectly accompanies second courses based on game and red meats, but also surprises with aged cheeses and first courses of Tuscan cuisine.
