Ornellaia 2021 Bolgheri Superiore – A Collector’s Tuscan Masterpiece

Crafted in the sun-drenched vineyards of Tuscany’s Bolgheri region, the Ornellaia 2021 is a symphony of power and elegance. This iconic Italian red blend (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot) has garnered universal acclaim, including 99-point scores from James Suckling and Vinous, for its remarkable balance and aging potential.

A Vintage of Precision

The 2021 growing season yielded a wine that marries intensity with freshness. Expect layered aromas of blackcurrant, crushed violets, espresso, and wild herbs, followed by a palate of structured yet silky tannins. Unlike older vintages that demanded decades to mature, this release offers approachable depth now but will evolve beautifully until 2046+.

Critical Acclaim Highlights

• James Suckling 99pts: “Muscular yet racy, with blue fruit and mint—best cellared for post-2030 enjoyment.”
• Vinous 99pts: “A polished masterpiece with dark fruit, mocha, and integrated oak—drinkable young but built to last.”
• Wine Spectator 98pts: “Iron-kissed tannins frame blackberry and toast notes, peaking after 2027.”
