L' Essenza

2014 Bolgheri Red Blend

Ornellaia L'Essenza from the renowned Bolgheri region is an exquisite red blend that captivates the senses with its deep red hue. The 2014 vintage showcases a full-bodied character that exudes elegance and complexity. With high acidity, this wine offers a refreshing liveliness that balances perfectly with its profound fruit intensity, presenting a delightful array of dark fruits like blackberry and blackcurrant. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that promises excellent aging potential. L'Essenza is a dry wine, allowing the rich flavors to shine through without unnecessary sweetness, making it an excellent companion for rich dishes or enjoyed on its own for a truly memorable experience.

Tuscany / Toscana

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
