Tobacco, sage and rosemary come through nicely, together with redcurrants and cassis. Full-bodied, yet polished, with a solid and dense center-palate. Tight at the end now, but will open nicely. Needs two or three years...

Purchased in 1996 by Antonio Moretti of Tenuta Sette Ponti, Orma is located next to Ornellaia in the heart of Bolgheri within the district of Castagneto Carducci. Its 5.5 hectares of vineyards, between the hills and the sea, is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot on primarily sand and gravel soils, perfect for these varieties to thrive.

First released in 2005 as a special project of Tenuta Sette Ponti's Antonio Moretti, Orma translates to “mark” or “footprint”. A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc, the wine is aged for 12 months in French barriques. Delighting critics and connoisseurs alike, this single-estate Super Tuscan has received many awards and accolades.

The 2020 Orma is a remarkable red wine hailing from the prestigious Bolgheri region in Tuscany, Italy. This proprietary blend, crafted by the esteemed producer Orma, showcases the epitome of Italian winemaking excellence. With its deep red color and enticing aromas, this wine is a true delight for the senses.

On the nose, the 2020 Orma reveals a captivating bouquet of tobacco, sage, and rosemary. These herbal notes intertwine harmoniously with the luscious scents of redcurrants and cassis. As you take your first sip, you'll be greeted by a full-bodied yet polished wine that boasts a solid and dense center-palate. The tannins are well-integrated, contributing to the wine's overall elegance and structure.

Renowned wine critic James Suckling awarded the 2020 Orma an impressive score of 97 points. He suggests that while the wine is tight at the moment, it will undoubtedly open up beautifully after a couple of years. Suckling also highlights the exceptional blend of grape varieties, with 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc contributing to the wine's complexity and depth.

Decanter magazine also praises the 2020 Orma, awarding it a score of 96 points. The fragrant and expressive nose showcases floral and dried herbal scents, transporting you straight to the heart of Tuscany. This wine is described as vibrant, lively, and pure, with a joyous quality to its fruit flavors. The fleshy but well-integrated tannins provide a stunning texture, while the long, fresh finish leaves a lasting impression.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives the 2020 Orma a score of 94 points. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc is described as richly concentrated, presenting intense flavors of wild plum, blackberry confit, dark spice, and cured tobacco. The wine's profound depth and textural richness make it the perfect companion for a classic T-bone cut bistecca alla fiorentina.

In conclusion, the 2020 Orma is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of Bolgheri and Tuscany. With its intoxicating aromas, impeccable structure, and impressive reviews, this wine is a must-try for any wine enthusiast. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a few more years, the 2020 Orma promises to deliver a truly memorable wine experience.
