Tasting Notes: The entry-level wine from the legendary Ornellaia estate offers remarkable quality for its price. Aromas of ripe cherry, plum and a hint of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and supple with soft tannins, red and dark fruit, and a clean, persistent finish. The Ornellaia pedigree shines through at every sip.

Food Pairing: Pasta, pizza, grilled meats, antipasto, medium-aged cheeses.
