Cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Ornellaia 2014 is capable of expressing all the exceptional qualities of the territory. 2014 was a particular year for Tenuta dell ' Ornellaia , with a particularly rainy August that threatened very difficult conditions for grape ripening and an increased risk of diseases for the vineyards.
