Reviews:


97 James Suckling
"A tight and focused white with aromas of minerals, dried apples, lemons and touches of sea salt, lemongrass and light, fresh seaweed. It’s medium-bodied with fresh fruit and a minerally finish."

95 Jeb Dunnuck
" The 2022 Ornellaia is a touch more straw/yellow-hued in the glass and is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Bellaria Vineyard, Made from two or three different plots of the vineyard, it is raised in barriques, with 20% new oak. The nose has more minerality, with aromas of wet stones, delicate flint, riper tropical fresh peaches, delicate, sweet tropical flowers, and a kiss of vanilla. It has lovely extract and a silky, rounded texture on the palate as well as balanced ripeness and a long finish. "

93 Wine Advocate
" Made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Bianco Ornellaia reflects a hotter vintage through a broader, more opulent expression, offering honeyed tones, stone fruit, cantaloupe melon and a distinctly yellow-fruited profile with notable richness and viscosity. Sourced from rocky limestone soils with clay lying deep underground, the wine is released three years after harvest to allow the variety to move beyond its initial phase of youthful fragrance and exuberance, though in this vintage, the overall impression remains dense and somewhat static in my view. The wine has gone from being an IGT Toscana to a Bolgheri Bianco."

93 Decanter

"Ornellaia Bianco is today 100% Sauvignon Blanc, following a period a few years ago where it was blended with other varieties. There's a slightly flinty note to the aromas of lychee, green fruits, papaya and peach. In the mouth there's a delicately creamy background overlaid by very zesty citrus, apricot and lychee. The palate is vertical in shape, with mouthwatering acidity and a rich, textural finish with some leesy depth and woody grip."
