Toscana 2022

Description

Orma Orma Toscana is an elegant and sumptuous wine, whose flavor embodies the very essence of the Bolgheri region. This IGT Toscano is strong and delicate, as intense as the Maremma landscapes. Its exuberant character is due to the extraordinary position of the vineyard from which it is born: a clayey and pebbly soil, with little sand and rich in sun and a mild climate that give the grapes an excellent flavor. It is the only wine produced by the Podere Orma winery, a limited edition of about a thousand bottles that has deservedly placed itself among the best Tuscan wines. Antonio Moretti Cuseri, a well-known Tuscan entrepreneur and wine lover, chose this wonderful territory in the province of Livorno to venture into the use of innovative grapes for the area, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and he succeeded. The property is small (just 7 hectares with 5 vineyards), and the wine is produced from 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc grape varieties. The vinification process takes about 15-18 days. It is then left to age in French oak barriques for no less than 15-18 months before being bottled and left to rest for about a year. This long period of aging gives Orma Orma Toscana its distinctive enveloping and soft yet equally dynamic and tenacious tone, a true trademark of the group of wineries to which it belongs.

Antonio Moretti Cuseri, a wine enthusiast and cultivator of beauty, was drawn to this area considered a virtual genius loci. He decided to leave his mark here too, creating a wine that perfectly reflected the excellence of the Bolgheri growing area. In October 2004, he was driving back from Montalcino, when he had an epiphany. After travelling through a long stretch of dense fog hovering over the landscape, he was suddenly surprised by the light of the sun. A special light that instantly burned off the fog. He ended up on the Maremma road that would lead him to Bolgheri. A paradise. And he had no doubts about the investment either.

Orma is located on the Bolgherese Provincial Road, a Wine Road, just a short distance from the most historic vineyards in the area. The heart of the Bolgheri DOC appellation, with Ornellaia on the right and Sassicaia to the left. It is indeed the area most suited to vine cultivation: north of Via Bolgherese, where rocky, clay-rich soils prevail over the sandier soils found nearer to the sea. The area enjoys a favorable combination of climate, soil, and grape varieties, which make it an "ecological-climatic niche." Read more
