Decanter, August 2023

Orma, Sette Ponti's sister estate based in Bolgheri, is – like Sette Ponti's Oreno – Merlot-based, but it's a different blend in a different place and, in my opinion, reaches greater heights. Spicy, brambly berry aromas...

Aromas of herbs such as basil and bay leaf with currants follow through to a full body with creamy and round tannins, and lots of coffee bean and walnut undertones. Chewy but not overdone. Velvety texture. Fine at the...

Vinous, August 2023

The 2021 Orma is a rich, heady wine. Succulent dark red plum, spice, new leather, mocha and menthol are nicely laced together. This sumptuous, flamboyant wine offers tons of immediacy and overall appeal. --Antonio Galloni

The wine opens with flowers, dark, red berries, espresso, and spearmint on the nose and palate. Medium/full-bodied, forward, and round in texture, you can enjoy this in its youth. Drink from 2024-2035.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you the exquisite 2021 Orma, a remarkable red wine hailing from the esteemed Bolgheri region in Tuscany, Italy. Crafted with precision and passion by the renowned producer, Orma, this proprietary blend is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the winemakers.

In the glass, this wine displays a mesmerizing deep red color that hints at its rich and opulent character. The aromas that waft from the glass are nothing short of captivating, with notes of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums mingling with nuances of dried herbs and a subtle hint of vanilla. The bouquet is further enhanced by delicate floral tones that add a touch of elegance to the overall profile.

On the palate, the 2021 Orma showcases an impeccable balance between power and finesse. The velvety texture caresses the taste buds, while the well-integrated tannins provide structure and depth. Flavors of black fruits dominate the palate, accompanied by hints of tobacco, baking spices, and a touch of leather. The wine's complexity unfolds with each sip, revealing layers of flavors that linger on the palate long after the last drop has been savored.

This red beauty exhibits an impressive level of refinement and sophistication, which can be attributed to the careful selection of grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques employed by Orma. With its medium to full body and seamless integration of flavors, the 2021 Orma is an exemplary representation of the Bolgheri terroir.

Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with an array of dishes, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning palates. Allow the 2021 Orma to transport you to the sun-kissed vineyards of Tuscany, where passion and tradition come together to create liquid artistry. Cheers!
