Aromas of rose, red berry and eucalyptus mingle with whiffs of exotic spice on the gorgeous, fragrant red. Loaded with finesse and tension, the elegant, structured palate delivers crushed raspberry, white pepper and star anise set against fresh acidity an...
The 2015 Ornellaia is a dream wine with magnificent balance. All the elements are in the right place. In most vintages, Ornellaia needs time to fully come together, but the 2015 is just impeccable, even in the early going. The warm vintage notwithstanding...
DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days ofNebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemakingprotocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B. Croce, jeweler of the House of Savoia:the wine is bottled soon after the fermentation so as to retain a gentle off-dryfinish and a lovely energy.
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.
