"There is something so subtle and rich here with chocolate, red chilies and ripe plums on the nose. Full body, with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. This is so delicious now but better in 2017. Best ever from here. A blend of 50% Melot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc. From Bolgheri. Just next door to Ornellaia."

"The welcoming blackberry and dark mocha aromas are seductive and compelling. The 2010 Orma is a 50-30-20 blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that shows distinct firmness in the palate. That structure beautifully bears boysenberry, blackberry and cassis flavors with accents of chocolate and molasses. The finish is toasty, warm and very rich."

About Podere Orma 

Dr. Antonio Moretti has made a major impact on the Italian wine scene with his projects Tenuta Sette Ponti near Arezzo, Poggio al Lupo in Maremma, and Feudo Maccari in Sicily, which have all received great recognition for producing outstanding terrior driven wines.  His newest addition is a prized 5.5 hectare vineyard in the heart of Bolgheri.  Podere Orma continues Dr. Moretti's ambition to make compelling, distinctive wines that express the uniqueness of Italy's finest terroirs.

  

Podere Orma is located within the district of Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri, where the illustrious neighbours include both Sassicaia and Ornellaia. Needless to say,the region comprises some of the most legendary terroir in all of Italy. Since its inception in 2005 Orma (which translates to "mark" or "footprint") has always received the kind of stellar reviews its privileged position demands; when the prices of the great neighbouring estates are considered, Podere Orma emerges as a killer value. 

 

A blend of Bordeaux varietals( 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc) the wine was aged in French barriques, using a portion of both new and second use. The result is an elegant blend fully expressing the famous Bolgheri terroir, combining savoury herbal aromas, rich ripe, fruit, and an astonishing sumptuousness of texture.
