Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Ornellaia 2011 is a Bolgheri DOC Superiore Rosso from the Ornellaia estate in coastal Tuscany. Ornellaia's official 2011 page and technical sheet describe a warm, early-maturing vintage whose blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, with the wine aged about 18 months in barrique before further bottle ageing prior to release.
