“September 2009, with its hot winds, benefitted the drying of the grapes, leading to a deeply concentrated wine. Ornus dell’Ornellaia entices with ripe exotic fruit, dried apricot and honey notes. The richness and sweetness are impressive on the palate, balanced out by fruit notes and a lively, refreshing acidity. The finish is accompanied by light toasted notes and a hint of crème brûlée.”
