    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.

    Critics acclaim this vintage. Raffaele Vecchione of WinesCritic.com awards 94 points, praising its rich, tense profile with floral and herbal notes. Wine Enthusiast gives 94 points, highlighting its elegant, complex nose and satiny texture. James Suckling rates it 93 points, emphasizing its sliced apple, pineapple, and bitter lemon flavors. Jeb Dunnuck awards 92 points, celebrating its vibrant tropical fruit and chalky texture.

    This Toscana IGT Bianco, composed mainly of Sauvignon Blanc, showcases a luminous and transparent appearance, with fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus, and green apple, according to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Ornellaia’s Poggio Alle Gazze 2021 is a harmonious symphony of flavors and textures, a testament to the estate’s commitment to excellence.

    "An elegant, complex nose offers lime, citrus blossom and gooseberry, then mixed dried herbs and an almost imperceptible but essential umami undertone of Parmesan rind. The balance between savory and citrus continues on the palate, where a mineral backbone and substantive acidity provide structure within a rich, satiny texture."

    "Made mostly with Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia reveals a luminous and transparent appearance with fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus and green apple. The wine is very focused in this classic vintage with upfront acidity and pretty mineral notes. Ornellaia is one of the only estates to offer a Sauvignon Blanc in this part of Tuscany. This bottle is especially popular at the many local fish restaurants along the coast."

    "A reimagination of the classic Bordeaux white blend, Poggio alla Gazze is composed of 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 16% Vermentino, and the rest Viognier and Verdicchio. The 2021 Poggio alla Gazze is vibrant and forward with fresh tropical fruit of guava or papaya, salted grapefruit, and lime blossom. It is medium bodied but round, without any harsh edges. It has a chalky texture, with pithy citrus and more tropical notes as well as saline earth."

    "Sliced apple, pineapple, apricot and crushed stone aromas follow through to a medium body with creamy texture and pleasant bitter lemon flavors at the end. 72% sauvignon blanc, 16% vermentino, 6% viognier, and 6% verdicchio. "

    Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com
    "Rich and tense in the primary matrix showing notes of geraniums, rose petals, mixed medicinal herbs and a lot of boxwood. Medium bodied, a perfectly linear structure which enjoins volume and verticality and a really intriguing, savoury finish. One of the best expressions ever produced by Poggio alle Gazze. Drink now or hold."
