Goedhuis, December 2022
One man’s waste is another man’s treasure, such is the unexpected beauty of Grappa. Made by extracting the delicate aromatics from the leftover skins of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, Ornellaia’s Grappa Reserve is proof that Ornellaia are capable of making a wonderous liquid from anything and everything. Aged for a minimum of three years in the winery’s own barrels, the nose is a rousing medley of cinnamon spice, cocoa beans, and tobacco, yet a delightful fruitiness adds some softness. With a silky, rich texture, the palate is full of liquorice, while the oak ageing adds a delicate vanilla touch to the finish. The only digestif you’ll ever need.
Producer
Ornellaia
Since being founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, Ornellaia has firmly established itself as one of the most revered wine estates in the world. Situated on the Tuscan coast, within the iconic Bolgheri appellation, the estate has long been dedicated to producing wines of unrivalled beauty and elegance. Thanks to the combination of Bolgheri’s unique terroir and growing conditions, Ornellaia consistently produces world-class wines from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, all of which are full of Mediterranean charisma. With an eighty-person strong team working full-time, Ornellaia’s passion and attention to detail is essential to its legacy; complacency is forbidden, and such is their meticulous approach, that everything is done on a grape-by-grape basis. Since 2006, Winemaker and Estate Director Axel Heinz has attributed a single word to each year, with the intricacies of individual vintages being wonderfully captured by a chosen contemporary artist and reproduced as an exclusive label, as well as a site-specific work of art that remains part of the estate’s permanent collection. Not only is Ornellaia an ambassador for the region, but the estate also reaffirms the belief that Bolgheri’s distinctive climate and diversity of soils creates wines as complex and delightful as any in the world.
Region
Tuscany
Arguably the most celebrated of all Italian regions for its sun, delicious food and rich wines. Chianti lies at the heart of this centrally located, picturesque and expansive area. Tuscany is also home to Chianti's more powerful cousin, Brunello di Montalcino, illustrious Super Tuscanblends and spicy, exuberant whites.
