🏰【A true Tuscan gem holding its own against illustrious neighbors like Sassicaia and Ornellaia, with James Suckling praising its move towards better balance and energy.】 The 2022 vintage for Orma is a blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, benefiting from Tuscany's Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, ensuring excellent grape maturation. Expect a purple-red hue with violet hints, offering intense berries, spice, and tobacco on the bouquet. The palate is soft and velvety with mature sweet fruit, showcasing notes of red and black currants, dried flowers, cedar, and a touch of lead pencil. Further complexity reveals violets, blackberry, exotic spices, mocha, cassis, leather, and clove, all elegantly structured with fine-grained tannins and an incredibly long finish. 🍴 This bold and structured red is perfect with classic red meat dishes like a succulent Florentine steak or slow-braised meats. It also beautifully complements aged, hard cheeses. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party or a special celebration where a powerful, elegant Tuscan red is desired.
