This complex wine brings ripe fruit aromas such as peach and mango, paired with elegant almond blossom and toast nuances. These opulent and enticing flavors accompany a rich mouthfeel. The impeccable harmony among the various parts is testimony to a balanced wine that finishes on a savory and upbeat note.

The 2022 Ornellaia is a touch more straw/yellow-hued in the glass and is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Bellaria Vineyard, Made from two or three different plots of the vineyard, it is raised in barriques, with 20% new oak. The nose has more minerality, with aromas of wet stones, delicate flint, riper tropical fresh peaches, delicate, sweet tropical flowers, and a kiss of vanilla. It has lovely extract and a silky, rounded texture on the palate as well as balanced ripeness and a long finish.
Decanter Magazine: 93 Points
Ornellaia Bianco is today 100% Sauvignon Blanc, following a period a few years ago where it was blended with other varieties. There's a slightly flinty note to the aromas of lychee, green fruits, papaya and peach. In the mouth there's a delicately creamy background overlaid by very zesty citrus, apricot and lychee. The palate is vertical in shape, with mouthwatering acidity and a rich, textural finish with some leesy depth and woody grip.
