Ornello

Ornello

A tribute to the buttero, the Maremma cowboy who appears on the label, takes its name from the rornello, the long wooden stick used to move cattle. A blend of native and international grape varieties, it stands out for the presence of Syrah grapes, on the nose it reveals balsamic and roasted coffee notes, on the palate undergrowth notes and a velvety tannin. Ornello is among the 100 best wines in the world according to Wine Spectator.
