The Story

This fine white wine displays a straw yellow hue with golden reflections in the glass. Considerable complexity is conveyed on the nose with notes such as apricots and acacia flowers alongside roasted hazelnuts and spices. This refreshing wine is rich in flavors and aromas and is at once savory and full-bodied as well as carrying a long aromatic finish.

97 Points - James Suckling

Super-restrained nose here with candied lemon and lemon bush, tuberose, peach kernel and integrated toastiness. Full body with amazing weight and concentration, yet with vibrant, lemony flavor, zesty and integrated acidity and a warming but balanced finish.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Previously a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, the Ornellaia 2021 Ornellaia Bianco is now all Sauvignon Blanc. The estate recently planted Semillon, so it is possible that we will one day see that grape in the blend (especially because it is known to thrive in hot vintages). This wine plays its best cards in terms of texture. It sports broad shoulders and enough texture to support those many creamy citrus and delicately tropical flavors. A dusting of crushed stone adds elegance. The wine should show its best results in five to 10 years from now.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

Verging on creamy in texture, this silky white features floral, peach, sage and mint flavors, with a flash of grapefruit pith. Complex, balanced and long, with a salty component on the persistent aftertaste. Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2030. 100 cases imported.
