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
“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.”
