ORNUS
DELL'ORNELLAIA
DELL'ORNELLAIA
Toscana IGT Bianco
‘Fraxinus Ornus’ is the Latin name for Orniello. Ornellaia is named after this ancient Mediterranean plant and has also bestowed the epithet on this dessert wine. Ornus dell’Ornellaia is made from late-harvested grapes grown in a tiny vineyard. Time, experience and meditation.
Winemaker's notes
“For its first vintage, Ornus dell’Ornellaia displayed a deep golden hue and complex aromas whereby exotic fruit, peach jam and honey are borne out by more refreshing lemon and grapefruit notes. The wine is rich and intensely fruity on the palate. The sweetness is balanced by a lively acidity and delicate toasted notes from the barrels and a long, savoury finish.”
