Italy

The sun-filled, early-maturing 2011 vintage perfectly expresses the qualities of Ornellaia. The wine appears an intense, youthful fruit that is fully ripe yet at the same time crisp and lively, backgrounded by delicate nuances of balsam and toastiness.

Fantastic aromas of dark berries, sandalwood and Spanish cedar that are ever so deep. Full body, an incredible spin of polished tannins and bright acidity. Incredible depth. Like looking over the edge of a skyscraper. Powerful and structured.

A wine with surprising structure and complexity, unusual for its body, colour and tannicity. Its original nature comes from the use of Oseleta, a grape with extraordinary power that is a jewel of our territory: an ancient Veronese variety rediscovered and replanted by Masi in the 1980s.
