Podere Orma Toscana 2018

Introduction

Orma is deep ruby with garnet reflections. On the nose, the wine demonstrates the presence and intensity of aroma. Notes of red and black fruit are supported by sweet spice, cocoa, dry earth, Mediterranean herbs and tobacco. On the Palate, Orma is elegant and dense. Orma’s sturdy yet ripe tannin structure lends the wine a velvety texture. Bright acidity reflects the wine’s Italian terroir and keeps the wine balanced through a long finish. Expect excellent ageing potential from Orma.

Orma is a robust red wine that matches wonderfully with full-flavoured dishes, particularly those based around game and roasts. However, the wine’s delicate layers of flavour and the purity of fruit make it an ideal companion to ripe cheeses.

Blend: 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc

James Suckling – 95 Points

This is a dense and powerful red with currant and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied with creamy tannins, yet ripe and pretty. Lovely in length and beauty.
