"Lots of blackcurrants and blackberry aromas and flavors with hints of bark and mushrooms. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. A powerful red with plenty of structure and depth. This Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri is a challenger to Sassicaia and Ornellaia. Better in 2018."

"Showing exceptional density and thickness, the 2012 Orma is a monumental red wine from Tuscany. The blend is 50% Merlot with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc in supporting roles. Compared to the 2011 vintage, this edition of Orma shows tighter tannins and a longer aging potential. In fact, the wine presents itself as very young and tight at this moment. It is at the beginning of its evolution. If you love juicy, thick reds from Tuscany with dark fruit nuances, spice and chocolate, this wine is for you."

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.
