The vintage in Italy.
Italy in this cellar means two places above all: the Langhe, where Nebbiolo ripens late on marl hills and a Riserva can spend seven years in cask before release, and Bolgheri, where Cabernet sits close enough to the Tyrrhenian for the sea to moderate the summer.
Seven hectares of blue clay on a hill above Ornellaia, planted to Merlot in 1984 almost by accident. It became Italy’s answer to Pétrus, and the only Italian wine traded like a first growth.
Condition is described before anything travels: fill level, label, capsule and original case, bottle by bottle. If you have not bought an older bottle before, our note on fill levels explains what those words mean and what they are worth. The 1999 leaves storage once, insured and temperature-controlled, for your home, your cellar or your account at a bonded warehouse in Switzerland.
