Orma, Passi Di Orma Bolgheri DOC, Tuscany, Italy, 2022
Viticulture
A perfect reflection of the land where it is produced. The high mineral content and the elegance of the soil are well integrated with the power and finesse of the international varieties that make up the blend – 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Cabernet Franc – grown in soils comprised of clay and pebble, with a hint of sand.
Winemaking
The must is fermented and macerated in small, stainless steel vats for 18 days before it undergoes a 6-month period of oak ageing in small barrels. This is followed by a further 6-month ageing period in-bottle before release.
Tasting Note
Intense ruby red with hints of violet. The bouquet is rich of ripe red fruit such as blackberry and blueberry and surrounded by notes of coffee and liquorice. In mouth it is soft and balanced, with a perfect tannic structure.
