2006 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore – Structure and Elegance from Coastal Tuscany

The 2006 Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore stands as a defining expression of one of Italy’s most influential estates. Produced along the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri, this vintage captures the estate’s hallmark balance between power and refinement, combining Bordeaux varietals with a distinctly Mediterranean sense of place.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with layered aromas of black cherry, cassis, cedar, and dried herbs, followed by notes of graphite and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is rich yet controlled, offering dense dark fruit framed by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and composed, revealing savory and mineral undertones that continue to unfold with time.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Ornellaia is crafted from a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Vineyards benefit from well-drained soils and cooling coastal influences that promote even ripening. Fermentation and aging are conducted with precision, including maturation in French oak barrels to enhance texture while preserving freshness.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2006 vintage is widely regarded as one of Ornellaia’s most successful early releases, praised for its balance and longevity. With consistent demand among collectors and strong secondary-market performance, it remains a cornerstone Super Tuscan for long-term cellaring.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2006 growing season delivered warm, steady conditions, producing wines of concentration tempered by structure. Critics continue to highlight this vintage for its harmony and aging trajectory.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2006 Ornellaia flows from the glass in a profound expression of ripe, dark fruit. With time in the glass layers of minerals, cassis, tar, sweet herbs and French oak emerge, adding further complexity. This harmonious Ornellaia combines the richness of the vintage with superb freshness and awesome balance. Today the wine’s sheer density almost manages to hide the tannins, but they are there, and the wine will ultimately benefit from a few years in the cellar. The 2006 Ornellaia is one of the highlights of this sensational Tuscan vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. This set of new 2006s from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia leaves me looking for words that can adequately capture the pure magic and sheer profoundness the property has achieved in this important, hallmark vintage. I will try with one word: Monumental. The Ornellaia team led by Oenologist Axel Heinz and Agronomist/General Manager Leonardo Raspini has done a fabulous job with these wines, which have never failed to literally send shivers down my spine on the multiple occasions I have tasted them. At this stage the 2007 Serre Nuove, Ornellaia and Masseto are shaping up to be ripe, relatively early-drinking wines without the stuffing or sheer vibrancy of the 2006s. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni. Issue date: August 30, 2009. Drinking window: 2016-2026.

The 2006 Ornellaia (magnum) is a massive, towering masterpiece. There is awesome depth and richness to be found in the glass. Flowers, minerals, tar smoke and dark fruit are all woven in an intricate fabric of almost indescribable elegance and power. Tonight the 2006 Ornellaia is absolutely moving in its beauty and expressiveness. Vintage 2006 will go down as one of the all-time greats in Tuscany, and Bolgheri in particular, as all of that region’s benchmark wines are spectacular. The 2006 shows the intensity of the small berries that were harvested that year, with exceptional concentration, acidity and freshness, qualities that are precious and exceedingly rare when they are found in a single wine. In 2006 the final blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Simply put, the 2006 Ornellaia is a must-have bottle. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, December 2009. Drinking window: 2016 - 2031.
