Tasting notes
The 2020 Ornus dell"Ornellaia, the estate's sweet wine, is laced with tropical fruit, hazelnut, spice, tangerine peel and dried flowers. This release offers lovely textural richness yet remains light on its feet, although the 2020 comes across as a bit more exotic than previous editions.

Packaged in its distinctive 375-milliliter amphorae-shaped bottle, the Ornellaia 2020 Ornus dell'Ornellaia has a warm and sweet bouquet that recalls pastry cream, toasted almond, candied apricot, honey and sweet lemon candy. The wine is very smooth and creamy in texture. The acidity is a little less prominent in this vintage, and the wine makes up for it with lingering sweetness.
About the producer
Based in the foothills of Bolgheri, Ornellaia is one of the original Super Tuscans, making some of Italy’s finest Cabernet blends. Created by Lodovico Antinori, today the estate is owned by the Frescobaldi family, which also owns sibling property Masseto.
