Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore 2006 - 750 ML bottle


Winemaker's Notes:


Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore is the Estate's flagship wine which embodies the quality philosophy of the Estate.  Resulting from a very rigorous selection, the wine is a remarkable cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.  A perfectly balanced expression of the relationship between land, vine and man.


Critical Acclaim:


" ...  a massive, towering masterpiece ... awesome depth and richness ...  Flowers, minerals, tar smoke and dark fruit are all woven in an intricate fabric of almost indescribable elegance and power.  Vintage 2006 will go down as one of the all-time greats in Tuscany, and Bolgheri in particular, as all of that region’s benchmark wines are spectacular.  The 2006 shows the intensity of the small berries that were harvested that year, with exceptional concentration, acidity and freshness, qualities that are precious and exceedingly rare when they are found in a single wine.  In 2006 the final blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.  Simply put, the 2006 Ornellaia is a must-have bottle."
