Ornellaia 2022 präsentiert sich unter dem Motto "La Determinazione" – die Entschlossenheit. Damit setzt die 17. Ausgabe des Projekts Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista erneut ein starkes Zeichen und interpretiert den einzigartigen Charakter dieses besonderen Jahrgangs.

Ein besonderes Highlight: Jeweils eine von sechs Flaschen in der 0,75l Holzkiste Ornellaia ziert ein Sonderetikett, das in diesem Jahr von Pascale Marthine Tayou gestaltet wurde.

" (Bolgheri; 55% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Merlot; 10% Cabernet Sauvignon; 10% Petit Verdot; 14.5% alcohol). Delicate. Poised. Classical. And very true to its identity. Perfectly pixilated red and darker berry fruits, with a little cherry stone too bringing a sense of coolness. A subtle hint of graphite with more to come. There’s still a suggestion of vanilla pod from the oak, but that’s just a reminder of the youthfulness of this wine and its long life ahead of it. Lovely texturally, with a beautiful lavender note that enters from the edges with the grip of the tannin – very beguiling. Crucially, this is very fresh on the palate too. This has a very well-defined central spine and the sense of compactness that comes with that seems to reinforce the length, stretching out the fruit all the way to a distant vanishing point. This will need a little time to come together aromatically but we have here a stunning Ornellaia in prospect. " - Colin Hay (03/2025)

"Featuring a hefty 10% of Petit Verdot this year for an injection of freshness and structure, Ornellaia 2022 is rich, deep and tightly coiled, with some pretty red fruits and floral notes overlaying dark, juicy berries. It's a dense style which reflects the vintage but looks towards harmony and poise: the woody frame and fine, structural tannins are countered by very good acidity and a bright fruit profile, with some breezy herbs helping to lift the long, fresh finish. Give this some more time in the bottle before enjoying. " - James Button (06/2025) 


Jane Anson: 99 Punkte 

"One of the few 2022 Tuscan wines where you can really see that this will benefit from a few years in bottle, right now it is, hovering on the edge of something delicious, vibrating over the tannic architecture, feathered, campfire smoke, fennel, blackberry, liquorice and crushed peonies, and the bitter fennel and slate scrape, dense, contrast of textures and flavours like only truly great wines can do, a reflection of skilful construction. A gorgeous wine, slowly stretching out in the palate, 65% new oak for ageing. Harvest began August 9 for the whites, and the reds began August 25 with Masseto, and then a few days later for Ornellaia, one of the earliest on record, with around 38hl/h yield." (02/2025)

The 2022 Ornellaia is a terrific wine for the year. Dark red-toned fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and spice all take shape in a mid-weight, pliant Ornellaia that is quite alluring, even in the early going. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot, unusual for the elevated presence of Petit Verdot, which did better than Franc in 2022. The higher percentage of Petit Verdot comes through in the wine’s dark-leaning personality and also in the quality of tannins. More than anything else, the 2022 is a reminder of how important a tool blending is, especially in challenging years. I can’t wait to see how this ages. The 2022 Ornellaia is clearly among the most successful wines of the vintage. - Antonio Galloni (02/2025)

A Mediterranean-style wine. Stunning elegance on the nose, with vibrant dried eucalyptus leaves, flowers, restrained brambleberries and hints of black cherries, dried bananas, milk chocolate, cloves and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with elegant tannins and a touch of dust. It’s savory and well packed, with integrated, brilliant freshness and a ripe, fruity finish with a toasty aftertaste of blond tobacco. Try from 2026. (02/2025)

Broad and lush, this red reveals ripe flavors of black currant, black cherry and blackberry shaded with cedar, iron and sweet spices. Balanced, with a few youthful edges that still need polishing. Its fine core of saturated fruit persists on the aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2028 through 2043. - Bruce Sanderson (2025)

Tasted a few months after it was bottled, the Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia will be coming to market in March 2025. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine sees 18 months of aging with up to 70% new oak, but the trick, proprietor Lamberto Frescobaldi tells me, is drawing from a large group of coopers with different toast levels and forests. "I don't want to make a wine of any one tonnellerie," he says. The oak element is crucial to the identity of this wine that reveals dark fruit, blackberry, sweet spice and cinnamon. Most of the vines were planted in the 1980s, and the average age of the plants is over 20 years old. Fruit comes from many parcels, including Bellaria, Bellaria Nuova, Bellaria Alta, Pero, Fosso, Vigna Vecchia and Stallina. Indeed, some 80 wines are made before final blending. The 2022 vintage will be remembered for its full-bodied appeal, concentrated fruit and generous oak renderings. Petit Verdot plays a slightly larger role in this vintage and was one of the surprise hits of 2022. It serves to elongate the wine and adds to its length. The wine's abundant fruit weight cedes to elegantly integrated tannins. This vintage will appeal to die-hard Ornellaia enthusiasts. - Monica Larner (02/2025)
