This is a fine Rosso to drink while your waiting for the famed Ornellaia flagship wine to rest and become fabulous in your cellar. That said, this wine is no slouch, delivering classic super-Tuscan style and oodles of bang for your buck. Bright fruit, lively savory flavors, a rich texture and moderate tannic structure make for a food friendly wine to savor. No surprise from this producer. Contains 67% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Sangiovese.
