and 2% Malbec
Harvesting for Sauvignon Blanc grapes from August 19 to early September
As ever there is only a modest use of new oak and sulphur levels are kept low
with lovely cherry aromas and deep strawberry and plum fruit with vanilla hints on the palate
and from their four prized vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba
2019 Ornellaia Bianco, Tuscany, Italy Size:75cl and 2% MalbecThe Poggio alle Gazze 2nd wine of Ornellaia was released in March, but this is the first time I am tasting the 2020 of the main estate white Ornellaia Bianco. It was worth the wait so expertly handled, deft strokes of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass, apricot pit, sage, white peach and citrus. Taut in its construction, stretches out through the palate, mouthwatering finish, hard not to see that you are in the presence of a very special glass of wine.
