About this product
One of Italy's greatest wines, Ornellaia is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, displaying extraordinary complexity: cassis, dark cherry, graphite, cedar, and Bolgheri's distinctive sea-breeze minerality with a tannin structure built for 20+ years of development.
