ORNUS
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 2013 vintage saw the grapes ripen slowly in a positive way for the aromatic expression. Golden in hue, Ornus 2013 displays the hallmark aromas of dried exotic fruit, caramel and honey. In the mouth, the sugar concentration is balanced out by a juicy acidity and apricot, honey and dried fruit notes.”
