2008 Orma Toscana IGT
Owner Antonio Moretti is a Tuscan native, born in Arezzo - 'well' born, as they say: his father purchased the family's first vineyards directly from the daughters of the penultimate King of Italy! A most successful man in many fields, his passion for perfection is a recurring theme connecting activities as diverse as luxury products and fashion real estate and finance. It was in 1996 that he decided to devote a good portion of his time and attention to two of the things he loves the most: Tuscan soil and great Tuscan wine. About 5 years ago, he purchased 5.5 hectares (13.6 acres) of vineyard that Castagneto Carducci, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. These superb vigneti were right next-door to Ornellaia and close to Sassicaia vineyard: most certainly well born! Moretti's Bolgheri project from the first was one estate, one wine: Orma, Orma.
93 points Wine Advocate:
:The 2008 Orma is striking in this vintage. An exciting array of dark fruit, chocolate, spices and leather emerges from this dense, vibrant wine. A powerful underlying vein of minerality frames the wine all the way through to the fresh, vibrant finish. Freshly cut roses, licorice and spices reappear on the striking finish. Orma is 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 14 months in French oak barrels, 60% new. Orma is one of the most improved wines in Tuscany. The 2008 is simply terrific. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028. Antonio Galloni
