Parker about Ornellaia 2022
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.
Suckling over Ornellaia 2022
A Mediterranean-style wine. Stunning elegance on the nose, with vibrant dried eucalyptus leaves, flowers, restrained brambleberries and hints of black cherries, dried bananas, milk chocolate, cloves and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with elegant tannins and a touch of dust. It's savory and well packed, with integrated, brilliant freshness and a ripe, fruity finish with a toasty aftertaste of blond tobacco. Try from 2026.

Ornellaia 2022
Ornellaia 2022 is a majestic expression of the Bolgheri terroir and bears the unmistakable signature of one of Italy's most renowned wineries. The 2022 vintage was characterized by a hot, dry summer, but cool nights, precise viticultural work, and targeted harvesting provided the vines with perfect ripening conditions. The result is a wine of remarkable balance, depth, and elegance—a true masterpiece.
In the glass, Ornellaia 2022 presents a deep, almost black ruby red with violet reflections. The nose is complex, multi-layered, and yet delicately drawn: dark berry fruit—cassis, black cherry, and blackberry—is accompanied by noble hints of cedarwood, tobacco, graphite, licorice, and delicate dark chocolate. Floral and balsamic notes underscore the aromatic complexity, while a hint of salty minerality allows the maritime origins to shine through.
On the palate, the 2022 Ornellaia is characterized by great density and precision. The tannins are both silky and powerful, perfectly integrated and naturally elegant. A fresh, lively acidity provides energy and structure, while the fruitiness is never opulent, but always controlled and refined. Aging in French barriques – a high proportion of which are new – lends the wine depth, spice, and an excellent texture without ever dominating it.
Ornellaia 2022 is not a loud wine, but a confident one: aristocratic, profound, with great inner tension. It is already impressive in its youth, but clearly demonstrates that its true potential will only fully reveal itself with age. A Bolgheri Superiore of world stature – powerful, sophisticated, and with a long finish. A wine for big moments and patient cellars.
