Ornellaia’s Sauvignon harvest took place in the last week of August in 2016

The palate widens as it opens in the glass

The 2011 and 2012 vintages are close cousins

The wine shows great integration of the oak

Follin Arbelet, Corton Bressandes other_regions_italy Ornellaia’s Sauvignon harvest took place(from 45 to 50 year old vines). Heavy reduction completely flattens the underlying fruit. Like several wines in the range the medium bodied flavors possess good detail and an appealing vibrancy with good muscle, size and weight and while the finish is dusty and serious its not especially austere though note that this will definitely require at least a minimum of patience.
