Orma, Orma IGT, Tuscany, Italy, 2022
Viticulture
This powerful red wine from Italy is made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The vines are an average of 20 years old, 10 metres above sea level in Lime/ sandy soils trained in a Trellis Cordon system on an East West facing exposure.
Winemaking
A temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration with a manual punching down of the cap for 18 days. Aged in small oak barrels for 18 months, 30 % of which is new oak.
Tasting Note
Dense purple-red colour. Swirling the glass, this plenty of viscosity, which shows at the edge of the glass. The dominating aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry are supported by cocoa bean, ginger and black tea as well as well integrated oak. Orma is impressively fresh and lively on the palate with a remarkably long finish.
Food matching
Perfect with game birds, leek tortilla or spinach gratin with almond.
