Tasting notes
A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Orma opens to a soothing display of ripe fruit with blackberry, candied cherry, spice, white pepper and even a speck of red chili flake. The mouthfeel is round and soft with a pop of sour cherry. The vineyards are planted in soils rich in pebbles and clay with a little sand at 60 meters above sea level. Some 34,000 bottles were produced.

This is a tight and powerful Orma with solid tannins that beautifully frame the fruit in the wine. Full-bodied and focused with intense structure and fruit character. Perhaps the best Orma ever. Give this four or five years to open. Try after 2025.
The main estate wine from the Moretti Cuseri family, 7.5ha of vines located in the same corner of Tuscany as Sassicaia and Ornellaia. An impressive Bordeaux blend with the fragrance and spice that the Italian climate brings to the grape varieties. Fairly knitted down at this point, its tannins are well drawn and present, clear emphasis on spice notes with eucalyptus edging. High alcohol but well balanced, and good value for this style of wine, with substance and depth and you know it will age for a good decade or so. If open now ensure you are decanting for a few hours.
