About this item
A beacon of the Super Tuscan movement, the Ornellaia estate on Italy's Tuscan coast enjoys beautiful views and a microclimate that ensures grapes ripen slowly for maximum flavour. The gentle sea breezes temper the summer heat, while surrounding hills give protection from the cold winter winds. The rich volcanic and marine soils provide perfect conditions for grape growing, but the winery's winemaker Denise Consentino leaves nothing to chance. This is like a Bordeaux second wine, using only part estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot - a rule-breaking blend known as a Super Tuscan - but made with the same passion and brilliance as the 'Grand Vin'. A fine match with classic Italian meaty pasta dishes or roast meats.
