🏰Ornellaia L'Incanto 2012 is a special edition of Ornellaia's flagship Super Tuscan, part of the "Vendemmia d'Artista" series, where each vintage's distinct character is celebrated through collaboration with contemporary artists. The 2012 vintage, titled "L'Incanto" (The Enchantment), was characterized by a hot growing season with sunny, dry weather, yielding generous, full-volumed wines that are remarkably appealing and seductive. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional year of bottle aging. This Ornellaia L'Incanto 2012 appears a deep ruby with garnet reflections. The nose is rich and seductive, with complex aromas of 【blackcurrant, ripe plum, and blackberry, mingling with notes of tobacco, cedar, and graphite】. Hints of 【leather, dried herbs, sweet spices like clove and cinnamon, dark chocolate, and espresso】 emerge as the wine opens. It is full-bodied with a velvety texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. The palate is layered with flavors of 【dark cherry, cassis, and plum, complemented by savory notes of tobacco, leather, and earthy truffle】. A bright acidity balances the richness, ensuring freshness and elegance, with a long, persistent finish. James Suckling describes it as a tight and silky red with compacted fruit and tannin texture featuring 【blackcurrant, mushroom and bark undertones】. 🍴 Ornellaia L'Incanto 2012 pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as grilled ribeye steak or lamb chops, slow-cooked dishes like osso buco or braised short ribs, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Toscano. It also goes well with game (deer, venison) and pasta. 🥂 Fit for event: An exceptional choice for a grand celebration, a sophisticated dinner party, or as a centerpiece for a fine wine collection.
