ORNELLAIA BOLGHERI SUPERIORE 2022

Aging 18 months with up to 70% new oak sourced from multiple coopers at varied toast levels and forest origins is the defining winemaking call at Ornellaia — Lamberto Frescobaldi's deliberate way of preventing any single tonnellerie from dominating the wine. The 2022 blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot, drawn from parcels including Bellaria, Pero, and Vigna Vecchia on Bolgheri's maritime-influenced coastal soils. Vines average over 20 years old. The wine delivers blackberry, sweet spice, and cinnamon with integrated tannins and a long, savory finish.
