The Ornellaia 2009 is a generous yet finely controlled expression from a warm, ripe vintage, combining richness with Ornellaia’s trademark balance. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plum, and sweet spice emerge immediately, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, with ripe, polished tannins that give volume without heaviness. Flavors of cassis, cocoa, balsamic notes, and savory earth unfold with depth and continuity. Despite the vintage’s warmth, a core of freshness keeps the wine poised and energetic. The finish is long, smooth, and resonant—an expressive, hedonistic Ornellaia that still retains classical structure and excellent aging potential.

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of Tuscany’s most influential and prestigious estates, instrumental in defining Bolgheri as a world-class appellation. Founded in 1981, Ornellaia established a Bordeaux-inspired identity rooted in meticulous viticulture, strict selection, and refined cellar work. The estate’s vineyards lie close to the Tyrrhenian coast on gravelly, marine soils that naturally balance ripeness with freshness. Ornellaia’s philosophy emphasizes harmony, structure, and long-term aging potential rather than sheer power. Over the decades, the wine has become a global benchmark for Super Tuscan blends. The late 2000s represent a confident, technically precise phase for the estate.
