The Ornellaia 2011 is a rich yet composed expression from a warm, sun-driven vintage, showcasing depth without excess. Aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, dark plum, and sweet spice rise from the glass, layered with cedar, tobacco leaf, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, with ripe, velvety tannins that give volume and polish. Flavors of cassis, cocoa, balsamic notes, and savory earth unfold with continuity and warmth. Despite the vintage’s generosity, a core of freshness keeps the wine balanced and energetic. The finish is long, smooth, and resonant—an expressive Ornellaia that offers immediate pleasure while retaining solid 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 early 2010s reflect a period of stylistic confidence, precision, and consistency for the estate.
