Description

Ornellaia, Bolgheri Superiore Vendemmia d'Artista La Proporzione 2020 is the project that celebrates the unique character of each vintage through the interpretation of an artist, now in its 15th edition. The American artist, Joseph Kosuth, one of the greatest exponents and theorists of conceptual art, has been called upon to interpret this vintage. The label of Ornellaia 2020 in a 750 ml bottle features a quotation from Vitruvius (De architectura 3.1.3) in English engraved on paper. As the artist states about the work dedicated to Ornellaia 2020, I think that language is an important part of the experience of everything and that these experiences are formed in a certain way on a linguistic level. The architecture of experience through language was obviously always in play, and I think Vitruvius was a great source for understanding a concept like proportion. Proportion is not only the balance of elements for the eye, but it is also a balance of all the elements that make it an entity of perfection of what it means to the world, thus also forming it as a conception.

Vinification
Harvesting was carried out by hand in 15 kg crates and the grapes were sorted on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then subjected to a soft crushing. In 2016, optical sorting was introduced in addition to manual selection to further increase the quality of the selection. Each variety and each plot was vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel vats and partly in concrete vats at temperatures between 26 and 30°C for a week, followed by a maceration period of around 15 days, with a total stay in the vats of around three weeks. Malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barrels (70% new and 30% second passage).

Refinement
The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at a controlled temperature for a period of about 18 months. After the first 12 months, it was blended, then reintroduced into the barriques, where it spent a further 6 months. The wine remains in the bottle for 12 months before release.

Sommelier Suggestion We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow the wine to aerate to awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years.
Tasting Notes In the glass, it has an intense, impenetrable ruby red colour. In the glass, the first exhalations speak of a dark fruit, black as night, amidst sensations of cinchona and rhubarb, spices and blood, cloves, blueberry, which gradually evolve to find it more and more dynamic, with scents of rosemary, sage, balsamic hints, liquorice. It flows on the palate fluid, smooth, with biting tannin, the finish is prolonged with balsamic and spicy notes and a welcome hint of freshness.
Pairing Advice
Pairing Un excellent compagnon pour accompagner tout un repas. Les entrées avec une sauce à la viande, les plats de viande mijotée, le gibier et les grillades, mais aussi les fromages affinés ou bleus.

A careful and aware reading of the labels gives you all the information you need.

The origin of foods, for example, is increasingly indicated on the label, and represents a valuable support for choosing the best products.

Food preservation is important both for those still to be used and for those open and used only in part, following the instructions on the label is essential to keep their characteristics unchanged

Food safety also means a healthy diet and are the priority for those who want to make an informed shopping, but they are not the only needs.
