Description

The Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC Magnum 1.5L 2000 is a delightful and perfectly balanced wine. It boasts an excellent concentration and complexity that makes it stand out. Although it may not have the same exciting sensations as the top vintages, it is still a great choice for those looking for a wine that can be enjoyed soon.

The wine is made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc grapes. It was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with 70% of them being new. Before being bottled, the wine underwent a light fining process.

One unique aspect of this wine is the fact that it comes in a magnum bottle size of 1.5 litres. This larger size not only adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any occasion but also has practical benefits. The larger bottle size helps the wine to age more gracefully, as the ratio of air to wine is lower than in a standard-sized bottle. The larger size also ensures a slower and more even maturation of the wine, which can result in more complex and refined flavours.

In summary, the Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC Magnum 1.5L 2000 is a well-balanced, concentrated, and complex wine that is a great choice for those looking for a wine that can be enjoyed soon. Its unique magnum bottle size not only adds a touch of elegance to any occasion but also provides practical benefits that can enhance the wine's aging process and flavour.
