Ornellaia has commissioned Canadian-born artist Rodney Graham to create poems and label designs to mark its 2011 vintage. Explaining his approach, Graham said: “Some of the poems I wrote are about wine, some are written under the influence of it. A few rhyme and all are written in a humorous vein.” Limited numbered bottle
Grape: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Appellation: Bolgheri DOC
Tasting: 2011 was a particularly sunny and dry vintage, but without any excess, which has allowed the grapes to reach a perfect level of ripeness, offering a dense wine with great aromatic intensity, but at the same time elegant, complex, and perfectly balanced.” Alex Heinz, Ornellaia’s winemaker
Alc: 14.5%
