Tenuta Dell'ornellaia Tinto

Description

Prepare yourselves for a whirlwind of anticipation – the Masseto from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is undoubtedly a wine designed to impress. It’s been rightfully dubbed the “Pétrus of Italy” by critics, and with good reason: the Merlot’s exceptional complexity, meticulously guided by Michel Rolland, is genuinely breathtaking. Despite initial concerns regarding high ripeness levels due to the warm climate, Axel Heinz has masterfully balanced the fruit, resulting in a profoundly rich and intense experience. This is a wine that demands careful consideration, but rewards the attentive palate with its undeniable elegance and the promise of a graceful evolution with age. Achieving a remarkable 100/100 from James Suckling, Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck, this is a wine that absolutely deserves a place amongst the very best – perhaps best paired with perfectly grilled red meats to counter its remarkable intensity.
