Ornellaia ‘˜Poggio Alle Gazze Dell’Ornellaia’ Toscana IGT 2021

Elevate your senses with Ornellaia’s Poggio Alle Gazze Dell’Ornellaia 2021, a masterpiece crafted by winemaker Olga Fusari under the guidance of Estate Director Axel Heinz. The wine, named after the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, presents a refreshing spirit that delicately balances a gentle breeze with sumptuous confidence.

Pouring a bright straw yellow, this wine offers a complex nose, teasing with citrus, exotic fruit, white florals, freshly cut grass, and asparagus. The palate unfolds generously, delivering a refreshing experience that culminates in a savory, mineral finish’”a true reflection of the region’s essence.

The 2021 growing season set the stage with a mild winter and replenished water resources. Budbreak in April, flowering in May, and veraison in July led to a dry yet balanced summer. Handpicked clusters underwent meticulous pressing, slow fermentation, and six months of maturation on fine lees.
