Feral with underbrush and wild mushroom and truffle notes. Earthy, dark and complex. Needs cellar time. Pair with truffle accented risotto and wild boar while you're lounging in Piedmont.

Reviews and Ratings

From Bolgheri in the Tuscany wine region, Ornellaia (2013) is an earthy Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot red wine blend. Nice mushroom, and underbrush notes with a touch of sweet cake spice on the palate -- a very approachable Super Tuscan. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
