Tuscany Red Wine

Color: Bright ruby red. Bouquet: Intense, mature fruit aromas. Taste: Rich, well structured, berry fruit flavors. Serving Suggestions: This wine is particularly well suited to meat and first courses.

Ripeness and elegance are the two qualities that can best describe Ornellaia 2009. Born from a vintage which began cool then turned hot, it was necessary to take painstaking care during harvest in order to preserve the grapes’ crisp acidity and aromatic complexity. The wine’s fragrances are generous and cleanly-defined, with rich, well-ripened fruit, complemented by chocolate and balsamic notes of aromatic herbs. On the palate, silky-smooth and spacious, with glossy tannins. A lively, refreshing acidity lifts a lingering finish.
