Ornellaia - Cannot resist the temptations of life!

Dear Wine Lovers,

I'm writing this review dressed in a charming tuxedo because I'm going to tell you about a special dinner with special collegues and with a special wine.

In each field there are masters that naturally stand out, because they are unique, rare, inimitable; there are no schools to learn that. You have it in your dna or you don't. This goes for each profession, each person, each painter, poet and obviusly winemaker as well.

In Italy we have some masterpiece wines famous all over the world, them are our trademark in and outside the country of the world of wine and we are really proud of that. Like a Ferrari car or an Armani dress, we're also really famous and appreciated for some of the best wines in the world.

I have to get back to my main train of thought. Back to reality (it's 7am o'clock in the morning - at my desk - writing this post and listening an amazing Jazz CD of Blue Mitchell - now playing "When I Fall In Love" - tks to Mamone for this marvellous gift).

Ok, here I am again. As I was saying, a couple of weeks ago, two of my special friends and I (Cesare and Roberto - they are also my collegues) decided to go out for a wine tasting dinner, we went to a really cosy restaurant, soft lights, warm ambient and with great food. We started with a good bottle of Barbera D'Asti Superiore Riserva "Tredici Lune" and then we opted to have an experience that any wine lover should have at least one time per year, we asked for a King. I enjoyed introducing this masterpiece wine to my friends because they had never tasted it before.

Ladies & Gentleman, it's with great plesaure, wearing a glossy pair of tap shoes that I introduce you to 'The Wine':

Ornellaia 2007 by Tenute dell' Ornellaia

A lot of you know this wine for sure, we're in the Bolgheri area (again!!!) here we have a remarkable selection of grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A perfectly balanced expression of the relationship between soil, nature, man and poetry. This wine at the nose is opulent, full of notes as dark chocholate, black cherry and a lot of leather, yes leather, like horse saddle you know? Its wonderful! Tasting Ornellaia you'll have one of the best wine experiences of your life, in the mouth its elegant, silky and so so sexy. On your palate you will have a long finish, mature cherry notes, chocolate, roasted coffee, vanilla, violet and "oak memories" for hours, till you brush your teeth (so... that night don't brush them).

Ornellaia is the kind of wine that you cannot have every week or every month, this is a wine that you should sip just one or two times per year, you cannot go to the "Louvre" every day, right?

Christmas is coming... so, if you love wines, you could think of treating yourself to a gift like a bottle of Ornellaia.

We have to celebrate life... and the life will celebrate back ourselves!

Have a nice day and thanks for being here.
