The desire to express the exceptional qualities of the estate has been the basis of Ornellaia's philosophy from the very beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, a faithful expression of a unique terroir that has always been in harmony with nature.
The 2017 vintage will go down in history as one of the hottest and driest, hence the name "Solar" which saw the eclectic Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno as the protagonist in the creation of the label for the Artist's Harvest celebrated by the Frescobaldi family. Saraceno has designed a thermodynamic system for this edition, which heats up and changes the image by taking the bottle in hand. A fairly evident allusion to the very current theme of climate change.
Tasting Notes
The intense and dark color heralds a wine of good concentration; rich and complex nose, it releases aromas of ripe red fruits, accompanied by notes of sweet tobacco and vanilla. On the palate it reveals a very balanced Ornellaia, a combination of firmness and pleasant freshness.
Pairings
It is enhanced with second courses based on game or red meats. Sublime also with refined risottos and important cheeses.
