Description
The 2019 Ornellaia Il Vigore Bolgheri DOC Superiore is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. The vintage was characterized by a highly variable climate, with periods of cold and rain alternating with prolonged drought and heat. Despite the challenges, the grapes were hand-picked and carefully selected before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks. The wine then aged for approximately 18 months in oak barrels, 70% new and 30% used once, followed by an additional 6 months in barriques after blending. The resulting wine has an intense ruby-red color and a bouquet full of intriguing spicy and balsamic notes, including aromas of black pepper, sage, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and vibrant, with a dense and elegant tannic texture and a persistent, crisp finish.
