The 2022 Ornellaia is a richly textured and impeccably structured Bolgheri Superiore, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot from meticulously selected estate parcels. The 2022 growing season was warm and dry, yet moderated by the estate’s coastal breezes and careful canopy management, allowing grapes to retain freshness and aromatic complexity.

The 63 acres of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small plantings of Cabernet Franc vines, lie on elevated parcels composed of clay, gravel, and loam soils. The clones of diverse origins yield a rich palett
