The 2017 Passi di Orma is a fantastic showing which is composed of a blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Cabernet Franc. It opens to aromas of ripe blackberries, dark currant and red plums which are woven together with nuances of tobacco, roasted coffee and dried spices. The palate is full-bodied and well-structured with notable tannins present, but not intrusive, as it comes to an end with a long lingering finish. This is simply delicious now, but should show even better after a few years of bottle age.

About the region

Tuscany · Bolgheri

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
