2007 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy

VINTAGE 2007
55% CABERNET SAUVIGNON
27% MERLOT
14% CABERNET FRANC
4% PETIT VERDOT
The beginning of the 2007 season was characterized by a very mild winter with lower than normal rainfall, which caused budding about 10 days earlier than the average. The spring, mild with some rains at the right time, allowed excellent vegetative development leading to flowering always in advance. The development of the grapes was accompanied by a rainy June throughout Tuscany. Summer begins with a month of July that is finally hot and dry, while in August it gets cooler with the classic thunderstorms around mid-month, consequently creating a slowdown in ripening which brings the harvest date back to normal. A perfect September, largely sunny and with never excessive temperatures and almost no rain.
NOTES OF THE WINEMAKER
“Born under a very favorable climate, Ornellaia is presented with the usual intense ruby color to express its aromatic complexity and finesse. The nose expresses fully ripe fruit, of great freshness with tones of black berried fruit, spices and balsamic notes. In the mouth it strikes with a particularly velvety and smooth tannin, intense fruity and spicy notes. Of excellent thickness and density, however, the sensation of great harmony prevails which concludes in a long fruity and balsamic finish, where the tannin becomes more present, a wish for further and beautiful development."
