Italy in 2018.

Wet spring, fine autumn, and fresher wines than the two years around it.

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 2018 leaves storage once, insured and temperature-controlled, for your home, your cellar or your account at a bonded warehouse in Switzerland.
