The Ornellaia 2010 is celebrated as one of the estate’s most radiant vintages: a classically structured, powerful, and yet effortlessly elegant Bolgheri that reflects the ideal balance between concentration, finesse, and longevity.

In the glass, it displays a dense, deep ruby red with youthful brilliance at its core. The bouquet is multi-layered and profound: ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries, and blackberries merge with notes of violets, cedarwood, and graphite, joined by delicate nuances of cocoa, liquorice, tobacco leaf, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs that lend noble complexity to the nose.

On the palate, Ornellaia 2010 is powerful, dense, and yet silky. Its frame is carried by plush, ripe tannins that are seamlessly integrated, imparting backbone and length. Fresh, precise acidity provides tension and vitality, while concentrated fruit stands in complete harmony with savoury and mineral accents. Full-bodied yet impeccably poised, it never feels heavy.

The finish is long, deep, and elegant, with lingering notes of dark berry fruit, tobacco, delicate roasted nuances, and a subtle balsamic freshness. While its grandeur is already unmistakable today, it unquestionably possesses the potential to evolve over decades and reveal ever greater facets.
