Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s Bolgheri Superiore “Ornellaia” 2017 (Magnum) is one of Italy’s most celebrated Bordeaux-style blends, produced on the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri. The 2017 vintage blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot from the estate’s sustainably farmed vineyards on sandy-clay and limestone soils. Fermented in small stainless-steel tanks and aged 18 months in French oak (about 70% new), Ornellaia captures the elegance and power that define this iconic estate.
