Product Description
AG99 "The 2021 Ornellaia captures all the magic of this sensational vintage on the Tuscan Coast. Rich, ample and expansive, with tremendous polish, the 2021 is pure class. Dark-toned fruit, mocha, espresso, licorice, plum and dried herbs abound. The tannins are present but also beautifully integrated, as is the French oak. There was a time not too long ago when young wines here needed years in bottle to drink well. That's not at all the case with the 2021. The blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot works so well. New oak was 70%." AG for VM Feb 2024
JS99 "Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine, crushed stone, hints of mint and sage. Blue fruits. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that open with air. It’s racy and very long. Very tannin driven and energetic with power and focus. Muscular and very toned. This is the best Ornellaia for the cellar in years." JS Jul 2023
"The character of Ornellaia 2021, the 16th edition of Vendemmia d’Artista, is “La Generosità”, which refers to the relationship between land, with its different species and ecosystems, and the energy of the people involved in the creation of Ornellaia 2021. Marinella Senatore is the artist chosen to interpret “La Generosità”."
