2022 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore – A Benchmark Super Tuscan

The 2022 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore continues the estate’s legacy of crafting one of Tuscany’s greatest expressions of Bordeaux-inspired winemaking. Sourced from the prized vineyards of Bolgheri, this vintage exemplifies power, precision, and elegance in a Super Tuscan that is coveted by collectors worldwide.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and violet are layered with nuances of cedar, graphite, and dark chocolate. The palate is rich yet refined, offering flavors of ripe plum, espresso, and spice, supported by silky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks to the terroir’s coastal influence.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2022 Ornellaia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, matured for 18 months in French oak barrels (70% new, 30% once-used), followed by an additional period in bottle prior to release. The vineyards’ unique mix of marine, alluvial, and volcanic soils imparts complexity and freshness to this modern icon.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2022 Ornellaia is poised to join the estate’s most collectible vintages, reflecting both a top Bolgheri terroir and a consistent track record of critical acclaim. Its aging potential, pedigree, and desirability in global markets make it an essential addition to any collection of Super Tuscan wines. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The 2022 vintage in Tuscany yielded wines of remarkable concentration and vibrancy. Low yields and a warm growing season resulted in a vintage that is already being hailed for its balance, depth, and aging potential.

Tasted a few months after it was bottled, the Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia will be coming to market in March 2025. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine sees 18 months of aging with up to 70% new oak, but the trick, proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi tells me, is drawing from a large group of coopers with different toast levels and forests. "I don't want to make a wine of any one tonnellerie," he says. The oak element is crucial to the identity of this wine that reveals dark fruit, blackberry, sweet spice and cinnamon. Most of the vines were planted in the 1980s, and the average age of the plants is over 20 years old. Fruit comes from many parcels, including Bellaria, Bellaria Nuova, Bellaria Alta, Pero, Fosso, Vigna Vecchia and Stallina. Indeed, some 80 wines are made before final blending. The 2022 vintage will be remembered for its full-bodied appeal, concentrated fruit and generous oak renderings. Petit Verdot plays a slightly larger role in this vintage and was one of the surprise hits of 2022. It serves to elongate the wine and adds to its length. The wine's abundant fruit weight cedes to elegantly integrated tannins. This vintage will appeal to die-hard Ornellaia enthusiasts. Drinking Window: 2027 - 2050. Reviewed by Monica Larner.

Vinous

The 2022 Ornellaia is a terrific wine for the year. Dark red-toned fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice all take shape in a mid-weight, pliant Ornellaia that is quite alluring, even in the early going. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot, unusual for the elevated presence of Petit Verdot, which did better than Franc in 2022. The higher percentage of Petit Verdot comes through in the wine’s dark-leaning personality and also in the quality of tannins. More than anything else, the 2022 is a reminder of how important a tool blending is, especially in challenging years. I can’t wait to see how this ages. The 2022 Ornellaia is clearly among the most successful wines of the vintage. Drinking Window: 2028 - 2044. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni. Published: February 2025.
