Ornellaia 1996 is a Bolgheri DOC Superiore from Tuscany, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. With its intense ruby red color, it offers complex aromas of ripe red berries, spices, and leather. On the palate, it is structured, elegant, and persistent, with silky tannins and a long finish. Aged in barrique and then in bottle, it pairs perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.
