Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2025
Produced in tiny quantities every year, Ornellaia Bianco is a rare gem. 100% Sauvignon Blanc fermented in barrel, the 2022 is stunning and complex; ripe orchard fruit is layered with restrained pink grapefruit zest, infusing the textured, mineral palate with moreish fruit. Richly textured and generous in this vintage, it perfectly reflects the prestigious location enjoyed by the estate's plantings, benefitting from the cooling breezes flowing inland from the Bolgheri coastline just a few miles away.

Jane Anson, February 2025, Score: 96
Richly textured, pink grapefruit, citrus, salty ocean tang, lingering finish, salty cracker. Feels silky and deeply textured, great quality, white fruits, ripe spiced quince and pear. A hot vintage means you'll find less Sauvignon Blanc thiols on display, in their place a soft and a lingering grip on the finish. 100% fermented and aged in barrels, 30% new oak, along with larger 320- and 600- litre tonneaux and cigar shaped casks. Marco Balsimelli director, Denise Cosentino winemaker. Drinking dates: 2025-2040
Region
Bolgheri
The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
