Ornellaia 2005 (astucciata) Toscana IGT - Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

An icon of Italian winemaking, Ornellaia 2005 (boxed) Toscana IGT celebrates not only one of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s most captivating vintages, but also the twentieth anniversary of a vintage now considered among the most harmonious and enduring in Bolgheri’s recent history. Born from a warm and even growing season, 2005 yielded perfectly ripe grapes that enhanced the character of the estate’s Bordeaux blend: intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum in alcohol blend with sweet tobacco, cocoa, graphite, and oriental spices, while the long aging in French barriques lends depth and finesse. On the palate, it stands out for its masterful balance, silky tannins, and a surprising freshness that sustains a lingering finish, now at a stage of full expressive maturity. The boxed version adds a touch of exclusivity to an already highly sought-after bottle, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts wishing to celebrate a symbolic vintage, capable of recounting twenty years of the grandeur of the most authentic Bolgheri.
