Goedhuis, February 2024
Sauvignon Blanc makes up over half of the Poggio alle Gazze blend, which is finished with 37% Vermentino, a splash of Viognier, Verdicchio and, for the first time ever in 2022, a very small amount of Semillon. Delightfully expressive, the nose offers irresistible fleshy white peach, apricot and nectarine notes with zingy grapefruit, fennel leaf, and a pleasing herbal freshness. So silky, it glides across the palate with such grace, and the mouth-watering acidity and mineral inflections give energising lift. Ther perfect glass for a warm summer’s evening. If you can resist, it ages beautifully too, taking on a wonderful complexity after a few years in bottle

Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, February 2024, Score: 91
Made mostly with 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 37% Vermentino, 6% Viognier, 2% Verdicchio and 2% Semillon, the 2022 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia is fragrant and fresh with aromas of lemongrass, sweet sage, honey and green apple that hover high in the glass. Pretty mineral notes of flint and crushed stone round it off. This is a tart, easy-drinking white wine that would pair with the delicious fresh seafood catch of the day found along the Tuscan coast. The wine is partially aged in new and neutral oak and cement.
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The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the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.
