Tenuta dell' Ornellaia 2023 Ornellaia Bianco

"The last year with Olga Fusari as winemaker, and a fabulous vintage to sign her out with, steel and slate, reductive gunsmoke aromatics, [all] cradled finely tuned tannins. Rinses the palate with grip and juice, elderflower, preserved citrus, just a fabulous wine that deserves its plane amongst the great Sauvignon Blancs of the world." -Jane Anson, 99JA

Earlier this week we released one of Italy's greatest wines, the Sassicaia.  Now comes its neighbor, Ornellaia, and one heckuva sibling rivalry saga. You see, Tenuta dell' Ornellaia isn't just a vineyard neighboring cousin Nicolò Incisa''s Sassicaia estate, but it's also the creation of Marchese Lodovico Antinori, brother of Piero Antinori and his Super Tuscan, Solaia. Which is all to say, planting these vines in 1981 was a flag planted in the ground for both cousin and brother to answer 1 question: 'which of us is gonna make a better wine'. Initially under the guidance of famed Napa Valley oenologist Andre Tchelitscheff, and then in subsequent years equally famed consultant Michel Rolland, Ornellaia has often produced wines of the year status in Tuscany, and is often named on critic's Top 100 Wines of the Year lists.  What's their secret?  Clay-soiled vines overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, producing warm days to ripen berries, but cooled nightly by onshore ocean breezes. The results - one of the most robust, fruit-forward Bordeaux blends found anywhere in the world.
