ROBERT PARKER ” The 2006 Ornellaia (magnum) is a massive, towering masterpiece. There is awesome depth and richness to be found in the glass. Flowers, minerals, tar smoke and dark fruit are all woven in an intricate fabric of almost indescribable elegance and power. Tonight the 2006 Ornellaia is absolutely moving in its beauty and expressiveness. Vintage 2006 will go down as one of the all-time greats in Tuscany, and Bolgheri in particular, as all of that region’s benchmark wines are spectacular. The 2006 shows the intensity of the small berries that were harvested that year, with exceptional concentration, acidity and freshness, qualities that are precious and exceedingly rare when they are found in a single wine. In 2006 the final blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Simply put, the 2006 Ornellaia is a must-have bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. “

Key Features & Benefits
Crafted with meticulous attention, the Ornellaia 2006 combines traditional Italian winemaking with modern precision. Derived from a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot from the estate’s iconic vineyards, the wine undergoes careful aging in French oak barriques.

Heritage & Collectibility
Ornellaia stands as a beacon of Italian enological excellence since its establishment in 1981, revered for producing wines that marry power with elegance. The 2006 vintage is particularly coveted due to optimal climatic conditions yielding outstanding grapes.
Production was deliberately limited, enhancing the wine’s scarcity and desirability within collector communities. As a prestigious label commanding high demand in secondary markets, Ornellaia 2006 represents a sound investment with substantial appreciation prospects.
Sensory Profile & Usage
Experience a compelling bouquet of ripe blackberry, rich cassis, and subtle hints of violet and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine unfolds with layers of dark fruit, balanced acidity, and smooth, velvety tannins culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Best served at 18°C, this vintage shines when decanted for an hour before tasting. Ideal pairings include aged Tuscan steaks, truffle dishes, or artisanal cheeses, elevating any gourmet occasion. Proper cellaring in controlled conditions will preserve and enhance its complex profile over decades.
