Ornellaia, Poggio alle Gazze

The year 2016 represents a classic Bolgheri wine making year where summer warmth and dryness were eased by the sea breeze and the night time temperature change, allowing the wines to develop both richness and ripeness with a full and complex aromatic expression. Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia is pale yellow and has a classic nose where the scents of a typical mature Sauvignon, grapefruit, passion fruit and white peach, all come through. The palate is rich and full-bodied with notes of ripe yellow fruits and honey, interwoven with a well-balanced acidity. The long finish lingers with flavours of white flowers and fresh almonds.
