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
“The 2011 vintage shows a deep golden wine with exuberant exotic fruit, dried apricot, citrus and caramel aromas. Rich and intense on the palate with honey and exotic fruit flavours, the wine is intensely sweet, yet perfectly balanced with the typical upbeat acidity of Petit Manseng.”
Axel Heinz - Winemaker
