Bolgheri DOC Superiore “Ornellaia” 1998 – Tenuta dell’Ornellaia

Availability: In Stock

The winter of 1998 was characterized by heavy rainfall, followed by a slightly cooler early spring than in previous years. In May, flowering of the vines occurred evenly and the summer gave sunny weather. The vineyards were thus able to develop under the best conditions, decreeing excellent veraison. With the harvest, grapes were picked in excellent condition, undergoing ripening processes that decreed an excellent homogeneity, as well as the quality that today distinguishes the 1998 vintage of Ornellaia.
