Tenuta dell’Ornellaia 2020 – 97-Point Super Tuscan from Bolgheri

🔥 The Art of Balance in a Bold Vintage

2020 was no easy ride — a dry, hot growing season pushed vines to their limit. But Ornellaia thrives under pressure. The result? A wine that walks the tightrope between opulence and finesse, crafted from the estate’s iconic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

This vintage is pure Tuscan magnetism in a bottle — complex, structured, and dripping with character.
