Description
Ornellaia: Bolgheri 2023 is a robust red wine from the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy. It features a well-balanced flavor profile with notes of dark fruits, spices, and subtle hints of oak, typical of the Bordeaux varietals that thrive in this coastal area. Its full-bodied nature and structured tannins make it a standout choice for red wine enthusiasts.
For optimal enjoyment, serve Ornellaia at a temperature between 16-18°C (60-65°F). Pair it with rich dishes such as grilled meats, hearty pasta, or aged cheeses. Decanting for at least an hour prior to serving enhances its complex aromas and flavors.
Expert Reviews
The Ornellaia 2023 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot, and it is worth noting that Merlot remains present at nearly the same percentage as previous years, despite the greater challenges faced by early-ripening varieties in this mildew-prone vintage. Careful fruit selection made the difference. The wine shows impressive richness and concentration with a bouquet that leans botanical and complex, marked by dark fruit, Mediterranean thyme and rosemary. The nose was slightly closed when I tasted the wine, but it will open. The texture is velvety and polished, delivering beautiful richness with a sense of succulence that feels expansive on the palate. According to proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi, the goal is to establish a clear through line focused on freshness and balancing fruit and spice while avoiding excess ripeness. This is a meticulously made Ornellaia that captures the vintage with remarkable elegance. The wine was bottled in July 2025 and is scheduled for release in March 2026." 02/26
