Winemaker Notes: Wine produced from the Barbera vineyards of Monforte d'Alba, Barolo, Novello and Madonna di Como, where the terrain is very steep and rich in clay and tuff. Aged for 12 months in oak casks and barrels. Lively purple red color. Bouquet of red fruits and spices; structured and complex flavor, very pleasant woody notes.

This is what you might be upgraded to:

2012 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia valued at $240/bottle at the winery (only 0.24% of the offered bottles)

Accolades: 97 pts.- James Suckling: "A tight and silky red with compacted fruit and tannin texture featuring blackcurrant, mushroom and bark undertones. Full body, firm tannins and a minerally finish. Excellent structure and mouthfeel. A cooler style of Ornellaia, bringing it back to the classicism of this celebrated region. Bordeaux blend. Better in 2018." The 2012 growing season was characterised by an abundance of sunny, dry weather; some rain did fall as well, but it occurred in just the right periods, before the harvest, and helped the vines to cope with the hot, dry conditions. The result was an even, consistent ripening process that in the end yielded generous, full-volumed wines that are remarkably appealing and seductive, with an overall character that we like to define with the word Incanto (‘Enchantment'). Ornellaia 2012 appears a deep ruby, and a remarkably beguiling bouquet boasts rich fruit and spices notes. The palate shows well rounded,full, and generous, with glossy tannins and a complete absence of any roughness. The 2012 lacks none of the proverbial concentration that distinguishes Ornellaia's great vintages, but this vintage adroitly masks that richness behind an expansive, magisterial structure, then concludes with a near-endless finish. Composition: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon - 27% Merlot - 10% Cabernet Franc - 7% Petit Verdot
