This landmark vintage marks the first full release under winemaker Marco Balsimelli, formerly of Pauillac’s Pichon Baron, who has masterfully fused Bordelais precision with the estate’s unique Bolgheri terroir. Arriving to soaring critical acclaim—including a perfect 100-point score—this release is a definitive acquisition for collectors who prioritize Italy’s most prestigious, investment-grade \"First Growths.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eMeticulously crafted from 80 individually vinified base wines, the 2023 effort is \"muscular yet ethereal,\" offering a sophisticated profile of graphite, sandalwood, and espresso. Prized for its legendary silkiness and racy power, it delivers the pedigree and complexity of a top-tier Pauillac growth at a fraction of the price. With perfect scores and a limited allocation, this window for Super Tuscan purists and Bordeaux collectors is expected to close rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eCritical Acclaim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e100 Points, Inside Bordeaux\u003c\/b\u003e \" … confident and well judged, this is smoky yet ethereal, muscular yet light, wonderfully juicy and fragrant …” - Jane Anson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/wine_advoate_logo_240x240.png?v=1769834033\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e98 Points, Wine Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“This is a meticulously made Ornellaia that captures the vintage with remarkable elegance.\" - Monica Lerner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e98 Points, The Wine Palate: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"The full-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruit and firm, grainy tannins, delivering a refreshing line that lifts the long, decadent finish.

Rose and violet fragrance introduces crunchy hedgerow berry flavours kissed by menthol, cardamom, black pepper and petrichor. Breezy-fresh and with good intensity, it's a slender, vertical shape in the mouth, with fine, slightly firm but ripe tannins and lipsmacking sapidity.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45353641639990,"sku":"SOMM2604-ORN23BOLG-750","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2023Tenutadell_Ornella_Ornellaia_BolgheriSuperiore_1.png?v=1776186283","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2023-tenuta-dell-ornella-ornellaia-bolgheri-superioresomm2604-orn23bolg-750","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
