Ornellaia 2019: a top year for this Italian giant with 97 points!

Ornellaia Rosso Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2019 is a beautiful expression of Bolgheri in Tuscany on the coast and the sunny Mediterranean Sea. The wine is made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Wine critic Robert Parker on Ornellaia 2019: “this wine pours from the bottle with a specific darkness that has elements of both inky saturation and ruby ​​highlights. The wine is saturated and rich—this is something you notice off the bat—but it also reveals a pleasing lightness or grace that is transmitted to both the bouquet and the palate.” 

Dark fruit, pressed blackberries, and plums mingle with more substantial aromas of spices, leather, and sweet-salted tobacco. The tannins are beautifully managed, and the wine possesses considerable weight and density on the palate, resulting in a very long and pleasant mouthfeel. Red fruit, citrus notes, hints of liquorice, and Mediterranean herbs combine to form the wine's profile. On the initial taste, all beautifully balanced elements unfold: the tannins, both firm and silky in texture, fill the palate with elegance and precision. A persistent spiciness fills the finish, enhancing both the freshness and the length. A wine of exceptional class. The Ornellaia Rosso Bolgheri Superiore 2019 should not be missing from any true connoisseur's cellar.

When the wine is opened, a magical moment has truly arrived. Ensure that a fantastic meal is served with it. With a fine piece of game such as venison, hare, or a roast beef.

Caution: beware of imitations!!

In recent years, there has been a great deal of counterfeit merchandise on the market from established top houses in France, Italy, and Spain, among others. We only purchase from the wineries or official importers. Therefore, be very wary of offers that are “too good to be true.” You run the risk of receiving an imitation bottle with completely different contents. Since 2001, every bottle of Ornellaia, regardless of size, has the brand name ORNELLAIA embossed on the bottom of the bottle. As of 2011, an authentication seal is affixed to all Ornellaia bottles by the estate prior to shipment. This seal contains information regarding the specific bottle in question, which is registered in a database accessible to consumers. We are always vigilant about this as well. With us, you get a guarantee!

Wine reviewers on Ornellaia 2019

• Robert Parker: 97/100
• Winespectator / James Suckling: 97/100:
  “The aromas of blackcurrants, fresh basil and thyme, as well as cedar and sandalwood are so attractive. It's full-bodied and very linear with tight tannins that draw you down the length of this young wine. Wet-earth and cool-stone undertones. It's solid and so structured. A classic Ornellaia for the cellar”.
